Five Year Strategic Framework for Reform and Development (July 2026-June 2031).

This Five-Year Strategic Framework (Framework) outlines the Government of Bangladesh’s roadmap for restoring macroeconomic stability, accelerating economic growth, strengthening institutions and ensuring inclusive development. The strategies are laid down across 30 chapters covering a wide range of sectors and domains of the economy. The Framework adopts a phased Recovery, Restoration and Reconstruction (3R) strategy, covering immediate stabilisation in the first year, institutional and economic restoration over one to three years, and structural transformation and growth acceleration over three to five years. Anchored in five pillars—reforming the economy and state, equitable socioeconomic development, reconstruction of the fragile economy, balanced regional development, and religious harmony and cultural solidarity—it seeks to establish a democratic, humane and welfare-oriented state. The key goals include building a trillion-dollar economy by 2034, generating 10 million jobs over five years, increasing private investment and improving productivity, competitiveness and economic resilience.
The areas covered under the Framework include macroeconomic and financial-sector reforms, skills development and employment, trade and industry, blue economy, energy, poverty alleviation and social protection, human rights, health, agriculture and water resources management, food security and nutrition, climate change and environment. Key priorities include containing inflation, improving domestic revenue mobilisation, export diversification, improved global value-chain integration, support for micro, small and medium enterprises, agro-processing, digital transformation, blue economy and renewable energy development.
Agricultural and environmental reforms are designed to translate economic growth into wider improvements in living standards. The framework prioritises poverty and inequality reduction through a transition towards universal, life-cycle-based social protection, including expansion of the Family Card and Farmer’s Card programmes, consolidation of existing benefits, improved beneficiary identification and digital delivery systems. Agricultural reforms address crop productivity, livestock, fisheries and water-resource management, complemented by rural infrastructure, agro-processing, food-price stabilisation, nutrition security and improved food safety governance. Climate resilience, environmental sustainability, green growth and sustainable natural-resource management are integrated across development priorities. The framework also advances regional development strategies for Chattogram, northern Bangladesh, coastal and Haor regions, and secondary cities, while promoting cultural industries, sports, religious harmony and social cohesion.
Governance and institutional reforms constitute a central component of the strategy, recognising that sustained economic progress depends on accountable institutions and effective public administration. Implementation of the Framework is intended to mark a shift from conventional, relatively static five-year planning towards a flexible, results-oriented strategic framework. The document sets out sector-specific priorities, phased policy interventions, strategic action matrices, institutional responsibilities and measurable performance indicators. A four-tier oversight structure comprising a Governing Council headed by the Prime Minister, a Steering Committee, a Coordination Committee and an Advisory Committee is proposed to guide implementation and strengthen inter-agency coordination. Monitoring mechanisms, including digital reform dashboards, periodic evaluations and stronger alignment between strategic priorities, annual budgets and public investment programmes, are intended to track progress and enable timely policy adjustments.
