Abstract
This report is an update to a public
expenditure review (PER) for Bangladesh undertaken in 2010.
It aims to analyze the major spending trends since (and
before) the PER-2010. This includes the macro-fiscal stance
(deficits, debt, etc.) and the allocation of resources
within the budget on both a sectoral level (health,
education, etc.) and a thematic level (wages, interest,
etc.). It notes whether these trends are broadly in line
with stated development objectives, and whether the revenue
and spending stances are sustainable. It also aims to
indicate any potential issues based on the evidence
presented in this report and provide an indication of the
areas in which improvements or set-backs have occurred since
the PER-2010, as well as whether any new issues are
emerging. This report also indicates where more in-depth
analytical work can be undertaken, either to confirm the
findings or to gain a better understanding of an issue.
