Re: [ALOCHONA] Increase in essential goods prices worries Fakhruddin; is it time to step down?

The whole team (including their Master Gen. Moeen Uddin Ahmed; he does not like to call him Uddin; a sort of village name; so he has abbreviated it to Moeen U Ahmed, something Urban, Elite) should have resigned long time ago because of long list of failures.

But among the Bangladeshi rulers, "there is no presence of shame". They are determined to sacrifice their last drop of blood for the country and the nation. If you notice the patterns, the CTG supporters have already started blaiming the previpus governments for all failures of the CTG.

Increase in essential goods prices worries Fakhruddin

The government on Tuesday decided to take certain measures to stop spiral of essential goods prices, said the commerce adviser, Hossain Zillur Rahman.
   

Some specific decisions were made in this regard at a special meeting, presided over by the chief adviser, Fakhruddin Ahmed. Zillur also said the head of the government was deeply concerned about the price situation.
   

'We will work out new strategies and make them public after holding follow-up meetings with relevant government agencies and stakeholders,' Zillur told journalists in his commerce ministry office in the afternoon.
   

The finance and planning adviser, AB Mirza Azizul Islam, the National Board of Revenue chairman, Muhammed Abdul Mazid, and representatives of the Bangladesh Bank and edible oil refiners were also present.
   

Zillur said the prices of cooking oil on the international market began coming down and he hoped that the impact of the downtrend could soon be felt on the domestic market.
   

He said the government was considering setting up an agency to increase the flow of goods and commodities into domestic
   market to keep prices at a tolerable level.
   

The commerce ministry has already issued letters to seven government agencies seeking necessary information on the factors that affect the market.
   

The meeting in the Chief Adviser's Office is reported to have discussed the issue of profiteering tendency of the traders and observed they should play a responsible role and do not make high profits to destabilise the market.
   '

The government will do whatever is necessary to quickly improve the market system,' Zillur said, iterating his earlier position that the state should have an effective role with mechanism to make interventions in times of necessity.
