Budget FY2026-27 · Concentration

Who holds the national budget.

A budget is a statement of priorities written in money. Ranking the 62 ministries and divisions by their gross FY2026-27 allocation shows how concentrated programme spending really is, once the Finance Division's Tk 830,552 crore debt line (debt servicing, subsidies, inter-government transfers) is set aside. That single line accounts for 54.8% of the gross ministry total and would dwarf every real programme ministry if left in the ranking scale.

Source: Ministry of Finance, Budget FY2026-27 gross ministry-wise allocation (Statement 8). The 62 budget-holding ministries and divisions sum to Tk 1,515,439 crore (gross Consolidated Fund). Share in the bar list is each unit's allocation as a percentage of this gross total; the cumulative column runs down the ranking. Programme concentration (hero KPIs) is recomputed excluding the Finance Division, whose Tk 830,552 crore (54.8% of gross) is dominated by debt servicing, treasury-bill rollover, subsidies, and inter-government transfers (financing churn, not programme spending). The programme total used as the denominator is Tk 684,887 crore (61 units). 33 programme units sit below 0.5% of the programme total. Net budget outlay is Tk 9,38,000 crore; simple subtraction of the Finance Division line does not equal net outlay (the netting bridge involves multiple adjustments).
