Youth and Sports Ministry to get Tk 2,423 crore

The Youth and Sports Ministry received an allocation of Tk 842 crore more for the 2025–26 fiscal year compared to the ongoing fiscal year, as Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed placed a Tk 790,000 crore national budget yesterday.

Although there was anticipation that the budget for the sector would be reduced following the economic crisis, the government allocated Tk 2,423 crore to the ministry for the 2025–26 fiscal year, with an operating budget of Tk 983 crore and a development budget of Tk 1,440 crore.

The allocation is much higher than the revised outlay of Tk 1,581 crore as well as the original allocation of Tk 2,212 crore in the current fiscal year.
