Pension scheme for all of Bangladesh: Muhith

The population of Bangladesh would be brought under a pension system, Finance Minister AMA Muhith said today.

“There will be an outline in the upcoming budget to include the 16-crore people under the pension scheme,” he said at a programme at Bangladesh Secretariat.

He was speaking at a programme that launched a digital system for pension transfer of civil servants.

Muslim Chowdhury, finance secretary, said: “The implementation of the pension scheme will be done gradually after the finance minister draws its outline.”
