Digital Bangladesh , but price of digital products as per budget,

The prices of computer accessories are on the rice after the budget speech of the finance Minster AMA Muhith. Digital gadgets for the common people of Digital Bangladesh will be hard to buy than last year. But Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services, BASIS, and Bangladesh Computer Samity, BCS, appreciated the budget speech of the finance minister for a significant allocation for the development of IT sector, which is over 500 core Taka including 100 core Taka emergency fund.
According to the National ICT policy of the country 5 per cent ADP and 2 per cent revenue budget are supposed to be allocated for the development of ICT sector. So instead of over 500 core Taka, the allocation was supposed to be over 3000 core Taka. The allocation of the budget is not remarkable according to the provisions of the National ICT policy, but compare to previous budgets the allocation is much higher. President of BCS Mustafa Jabbar and President of BASIS Habibullah N Karim welcomed the budget and they think it is the millstone budget to gradually reach to the targeted allocation as per the provisions of the National ICT Policy.

However, computer vendor houses of the country are very much disappointed with the budget and the disappointment caused at least 5 per cent price rise of IT accessories just immediate after the budget speech. During the finance minister budget speech computer vendors stopped selling IT gadgets and stocked the digital goods. IT vendor houses informed the IT reporter the prices will be much higher after the finishing of their stocks. 4 to 21 per cent taxes and duty fee have been increased for almost every IT product.
