Hon’ble Dupthob, Bumdeling Jamkhar Constituency Economic and Finance Committee’s review report on National Budget for Financial Year 2020-21 Introduction At the feet of the Glorious Golden Throne, I, on behalf of the thirteen Hon’ble Members of the Economic and Finance Committee would like to sincerely thank the Hon’ble Speaker for bestowing me the opportunity to present the Budget Review Report. Before introducing the report, I would like to address the House on the global health crisis the world is facing, a crisis far graver than what we have seen. COVID-19 has impacted nearly every country in the world, however due to His Majesty’s farsighted leadership our nation is able to successfully prevent COVID-19 taking tolls on Bhutanese lives. During the national address on National Resilience Fund delivered on 10th April, 2020, His Majesty commanded that, “in times of normal conditions, while making national choices, we must carefully examine and weigh the difference between sufficiency and insufficiency, the important and the unimportant, benefits and costs by deliberating over long-term rather than short-term interests.
