The "white paper" on Bangladesh's economy will reflect on the government's strategic actions on related matters, implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and transition from Least Developed Countries (LDCs).

The chief advisor's office released a notification in this regard on Thursday (29 August) outlining the scopes and other matters of the 12-member committee tasked with preparing the comprehensive white paper, led by Debapriya Bhattacharya.

Besides, the committee members shall serve unpaid.

Their office shall be established in the Planning Commission, the economics division of which shall provide secretarial support to the committee.

The notification also said all ministries, departments and organisations of the government shall provide all kinds of cooperation, including supply of necessary information as per the needs of the committee.

The committee has been asked to hand over the report containing the recommendations to Chief Adviser Dr Yunus within the next 90 days.

Earlier on the day, head of the committee Debapriya said the committee will examine certain trends over the years only if necessary to fully understand the current economic landscape.

Debapriya, distinguished fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) and convenor of the Citizen's Platform for SDGs, has been appointed chairman of the committee.

He clarified that they are not tasked with identifying or prosecuting corruption but with understanding why it occurred and its extent. 

"It is not our responsibility to identify who is involved in corruption. That task falls under the jurisdiction of the government and its relevant agencies," he added.

However, Debapriya said they will not name specific corrupt individuals but will discuss policies, regulations, and institutional roles as relevant. "The white paper will include preventive recommendations to avoid similar issues in the future."

He said the committee will work to ensure transparency, through which the interim government will understand the economy they have inherited, identify the challenges and take necessary steps.
