The economic and social development that Bangladesh has achieved in the past two decades has made Bangladesh a development paradox. This book tries to explain this paradox through a political economy lens. The book explains the linkages between the state, changing society, and emerging private sector, and examines whether the social transformation taking place in Bangladesh has the potential to live up to the expectations of a middle-income country. Bangladesh’s journey from an emerging economy towards a developed country would interest those researching development economics and those in policy-making.

Public Financial Management (PFM) is an applied process that balances and ensures the macroeconomic processes. PFM also assesses the expenditure framework and safeguards the revenue management, accounting, audit, and oversight of public expenditure. The PFM plays a critical role in managing the processes and practices of public resources. In doing so, the countries tend to manage the PFM processes on the basis of their respective systems, laws, and regulatory framework. This book makes a modest attempt to review and assess the PFM system of Bangladesh in terms of structure, process, and institutional concerns. This book attempts to give an overview and concerns of PFM systems in Bangladesh, targeting undergraduate and graduate students as a primary audience.
