Govt Implements 62% Decisions in First 100 Days

The government has implemented 62 percent of the key decisions approved by the cabinet during its first 100 days in office, according to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), which highlighted the progress as a reflection of the administration’s pace and policy execution.

Speaking at a press conference at the Prime Minister’s Office in Tejgaon on Monday, PMO Spokesperson Mahdi Amin said the cabinet had held 10 meetings between February 17 and May 24 following the formation of the new government.

During those meetings, a total of 60 major decisions were adopted unanimously, he said.

“Among these, 37 decisions, or around 62 percent, have already been implemented, while the remaining 23 are currently in different stages of implementation,” he said.

The press briefing, held at the PMO’s Karabi Hall, presented an overview of the government's performance during its first 100 days in office.

Following the general election held on February 12, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman took office on February 17, with the government scheduled to complete its first 100 days on Wednesday.

Mahdi Amin, who also serves as an adviser to the Prime Minister, said the government's ability to execute a large number of policy decisions within a relatively short period reflected its commitment, efficiency and administrative responsiveness.

He said the administration had been focusing on strengthening human rights, freedom of expression and the rule of law, adding that efforts had been made to foster a more open and tolerant political environment.

At the same time, he cautioned against what he described as the use of misinformation, hostility and divisive narratives under the guise of freedom of expression, saying such practices run contrary to the spirit of democratic aspirations.

Highlighting the government’s early initiatives, he said visible progress had been made in a number of sectors, creating greater public confidence and raising expectations among citizens.

He added that a range of policy measures and reforms introduced over the past three months had helped bring greater discipline and relief to public life.

“If the country's people work collectively and opportunities are expanded for young people and women, Bangladesh can move further toward becoming a stronger and self-reliant nation,” he said.

The spokesperson also reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens regardless of political identity, religion or ethnic background.

Referring to democratic movements and public expectations, he said the administration remained committed to fulfilling promises made to the people and strengthening democratic values.

Mahdi Amin further said several election pledges had already seen progress through rapid policy action, with measures being taken to address public concerns and improve socioeconomic conditions.

He also highlighted steps taken in the health sector, including efforts to expand measles vaccination coverage and strengthen long-term public health preparedness.

According to the PMO, the government is also planning broader initiatives aimed at improving healthcare security and protecting future generations from preventable diseases.

The briefing concluded with advance greetings to the nation on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
