Adviser to the interim government on the Ministries of Planning and Education Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud on Monday said the government is right now focusing on controlling inflation and does not want to increase the money supply. "Categorise the projects as per their importance," the Adviser asked the Planning Ministry officials while delivering inaugural speech during his first meeting with its officials and subordinate bodies held at NEC Conference Room in the city's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area.
Mentioning that many projects have been taken by the political governments in their constituencies considering their political objectives, he said: "But, I'm not criticising political governments as they do so."
Regarding stopping the on-going projects in the middle of the implementation, the Planning Adviser said: "The matter of consideration is what is the rest of the cost and what will be the economical benefit after completion of that project.
This is the only consideration," he added.
