And to ensure proper utilisation of the grants, the government has issued guidelines.

During the financial year 2019-20, the economy is estimated to grow at 7.2 %, which will be mainly contributed by the commissioning of Mangdechhu Hydropower Project and implementation of programs under the financial year 2019-20.

The budget also looks into the employment sector of which Nu 1.1bn is allocated for the training and programs for the youth. Road, tourism and education are other important areas that the budget focuses on.

The opposition leader Pema Gyamtsho (PhD) said the budget should look into areas of decentralisation and improve gewog road construction. He added that the government should ensure proper implementation of the budget allocated.

The Budget Appropriation bill will be deliberated on June 5.
