annual_budget_bdt stores the FY2025-26 ICT Division allocation of Tk 2,144 crore = 21,440,000,000 BDT. The National AI Policy 2026-2030 as of this record's verification date is still in draft (v2.0); no evidence of formal cabinet approval was found, so the event is correctly labelled 'policy' (draft release) not 'regulation'. The head recorded is the Secretary (Kazi Anwar Hossain, as of March 29, 2026); the Minister (Fakir Mahbub Anam Swapan) oversees the parent ministry and is recorded as a notable event. Semiconductor incentive: current rate is 6-10% cash incentive on IT-enabled service exports; BSIA seeking 25% for chip design specifically; no formal ICT Division incentive order was enacted within the 90-day window -- the semiconductor entry records the Feb 2026 BSIA-SICIP training partnership and ongoing taskforce work, not an unverified policy approval. ICT export figure ($724.6M, FY2024-25) is from EPB/TBS reporting; the $5B government target was missed by a large margin. established_year 2014 reflects the date the ICT Division was formally constituted as a separate division under the merged Ministry (February 10, 2014); the earlier Ministry of ICT dates to 2011 but that was a full ministry, not the current division structure.
