Finance Division

The Finance Division is currently focused on navigating significant fiscal challenges—including substantial inherited power sector liabilities and high debt repayment obligations—while attempting to stabilize the economy through structural tax reforms and improved public expenditure management.

Finance Division is one of two operative divisions under the Ministry of Finance (the other being the Financial Institutions Division at fid.gov.bd). It is the principal budget authority and public expenditure manager. Secretary Dr. Md. Khairuzzaman Mozumder (appointed 28 August 2023, replacing Senior Secretary Fatima Yasmin) holds a PhD from the University of Essex and an MA from McGill University; he was previously Additional Secretary (Macroeconomic) in Finance Division and Secretary of Energy and Mineral Resources Division. Website finance.gov.bd resolves to mof.gov.bd (the Finance Division portal); mof.portal.gov.bd is the legacy portal. The annual_budget_bdt field records the FY2025-26 total budget being executed (Tk 7,90,000 crore = 790,000,000,000 BDT).
