The government has borrowed Tk 8,333 crore from savings tools in the first quarter (July-September) of the current fiscal year.
The concerned officials said that after the fall of the last government on August 5, the operating expenses have decreased a lot. One of the reasons for this is that many people, including ministers and members of parliament, are not spending regularly as before, reports UNB.
Again accountability has been increased for any public expenditure. Due to this, the borrowing has been falling below the previous government's target of borrowing. The interim government is not taking any money from the central bank to support controlling inflation.
On the other hand, in the two months till last August, Tk 18,250 crore was repaid in previous loans. At the same time, Tk 2,8952 crore were taken from commercial banks. Due to this, the overall net debt of the government in the banking sector has increased by Tk 10,702 crore.
