Economy to reach $1 trillion in size by 2034: Finance Minister

Economy Desk: The government has set a target to elevate Bangladesh into a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2034. To achieve this, Finance and Planning Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury has emphasized the importance of prudent borrowing, budgetary discipline, and sustainable financing.

He made these remarks on Sunday (November 15) during the inaugural session of the two-day ‘International Debt Conference Bangladesh 2026’ held in Cox’s Bazar.

The Finance Minister noted that the growing burden of principal and interest repayments, weaknesses in revenue collection, and limited fiscal space for budgetary expenditure pose significant challenges to the nation’s economy.
