The Economic Stimulus Program is noted as one of the crucial elements in reviving the economy. However, the progress of ESP so far has been slow calling for diagnosing issues both within and among the stakeholders. The Economy and Finance Committee of the National Assembly, therefore, agreed to carry out a public hearing on the Economic Stimulus Program.
And as a part of preparation for public hearing and also to gain clear understanding of issues, the members of the Economic and Finance Committee: Hon. Tshewang Rinzin and Hon. Naiten Wangchuk started consultation meetings with ESP stakeholders of Mongar Dzongkhag on 7 April, 2025. The stakeholders constituted farmers, business communities, In-charge of Community Centers, Regional heads of Banks, Gewog Thrizins, relevant sector heads of the Dzongkhag and Dasho Dzongrab as a representative of the Dzongkhag.
The consultation deliberated on the wide range of issues and gathered insights and recommendations of stakeholders. The feedback gathered from this consultation will help in enriching the deliberations of public hearing, and in formulating the effective recommendations in addressing the issues on the ground. Besides, it will also contribute in tailoring ESP as an effective tool in reviving the economy.
Similar consultation meetings with stakeholders will be held in the remaining five Dzongkhags of the east in the coming days.
