The White Paper Preparation Committee, led by Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya, aims to investigate irregularities and corruption in Bangladesh’s energy and power sector from the previous government’s tenure. The committee will also review agreements with foreign companies if needed. The white paper will address various sectors including macroeconomics, energy, health, education, and institutional issues such as banking, tax administration, capital flight, and regional disparities.
In their recent meeting, the committee assigned specific areas of focus to members and outlined the report-writing method. They plan to consult with experts and researchers both within and outside Bangladesh. The committee will gather and critically verify information, comparing it with global best practices to ensure high standards. The preliminary work on the white paper is expected to be completed within the next two months.
