Dhaka, June 3 -- Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal on Friday said the proposed budget for the next fiscal year (FY24) has been awarded to all sections of people, including rich and poor, while all the projections made in the budget would be attained as like the previous years.

"We've awarded this budget to all sections of people, including rich and poor," he said.

The finance minister said this while replying to a barrage of questions at a post-budget press conference held at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC) in Dhaka this afternoon.

He also categorically said the proposed budget for FY24 has not been framed and thus placed in Jatiya Sangsad in line with the suggestions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
