Implementation of the Annual Development Programme (ADP) stood at 0.69 percent in the first month of the fiscal year, virtually unchanged from the same period a year earlier, according to the report of the Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Division (IMED).
Government agencies and ministries spent Tk 21.11 billion (Tk 2,111.18 crore) from the ADP allocation in July 2026, against Tk 16.85 billion (Tk 1,684.66 crore) during July 2025, the IMED report showed.
Although the implementation rate remained unchanged, the amount of expenditure increased by Tk 4.26 billion (Tk 426.52 crore) year-on-year, reflecting the larger development budget.
The government has allocated Tk 3809.15 billion (Tk 380,914.86 crore) for the ADP for fiscal year 2026-27, compared with Tk 2386.96 billion (Tk 238,696 crore) in the previous fiscal year.
The latest figures show that the pace of ADP implementation remains low at the beginning of the fiscal year.
The IMED, under the Planning Ministry, monitors development projects and prepares monthly reports on ADP progress by ministries and divisions.
