In Bangladesh, the MTEF was introduced in 4 ministries including Ministry of Education from 2005-06, named as MTBFThe Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) is a new budgeting approach generally known as the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF)'. Here, no basic difference between MTEF and MTBF has been stated.Only the MTBF includes expenditure and Revenue (Receipt) also.

A complete roll out of the MTBF was achieved across all 59 ministries, divisions and constitutional bodies at the end of FY12. Budget documentation has improved with Bangladesh’s Ministry Budget Frameworks (MBFs) which contain strategic objectives, outcome targets and key performance indicators (KPIs). Bangladesh has developed the MTBF following a successful and still evolving Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF).

Institutional changes have been initiated to make sure the MTBF has a real impact on the way line ministries conduct their business during budget preparation. Budget Management Committees (BMCs), Budget Working Groups (BWGs) and Budget Management Branches (BMBs) are now operational in all line ministries. The capacity of line ministry budget officials has also been significantly enhanced in MBF preparation.since the introduction of the MTBF, line ministries have a better ability to plan their expenditures. Finance Division’s capacity to guide and support line ministries in the budget process has also improved.

The MTEF is now at its earlier stage in Bangladesh and systematic reviews of on-going spending programs are practically non-existent.need to generate better conceptual understanding, interest, demand, and ultimately ownership of the MTBF process in line ministries, large inefficiencies in the selection and implementation of development projects.
![Page 14: Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) in Bangladesh · Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) in Bangladesh. ARFIN ARA BEGUM. JOINT SECRETARY(Budget) FINANCE DIVISION.

Frequent change of budget and planning skilled staff.a coordination gap and institutional differences between the Ministry of Finance and the Planning CommissionSufficient information is not available and current and reliable data are also unobtainable. So, there is much reliance on government budgetary documents that cannot always be testified by evidences from other sources.monitoring and evaluation systems yet to develop strong.
![Page 15: Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) in Bangladesh · Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) in Bangladesh. ARFIN ARA BEGUM. JOINT SECRETARY(Budget) FINANCE DIVISION.

ownership and engagement of line ministries should be facilitated through high-level workshops with an open discussion of MTBF implementation and concerns. Involving Planning Commission to ◦ the budget process from very beginning◦ the line ministry budget ceilings, ◦ continuous dialogue across the two ministries through budget
reform working groups. Monitoring and Evaluation mechanism should be introduced strongly.
