Provenance & notes
Verification status set to 'partial' because: (1) the chairman and members of the 13th Parliament Standing Committee on Ministry of Finance have not been publicly announced in verifiable sources as of 2026-05-17 -- the first session (March 12 to April 30, 2026) formed only five procedural/structural committees, and ministry-related standing committees are expected to be constituted in the second session; (2) the established_year 1973 reflects the first Jatiya Sangsad session under the 1972 Constitution, when the standing committee system was activated; each parliament reconstitutes its committees afresh. The committee's oversight is exercised jointly over the Ministry of Finance (including Financial Institutions Division and the new Revenue Policy Division and Revenue Management Division that replaced NBR) and all legislation touching public finance. Per parliament.gov.bd Rules of Procedure, committees sit in private and records are not routinely public. Key oversight issues in the current window: Bank Resolution Act 2026, Bangladesh Bank Amendment Act 2026, IMF 5th/6th tranche conditions, and NBR bifurcation implementation.

Retained events and unmatched action text require source review; original raw records are unchanged.
