Following discussions with Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder, Agriculture Minister Abdus Saheed, Fisheries and Livestock Minister Md Abdur Rahman, State Minister for Commerce Ahsanul Islam Titu, Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdur Rouf Talukder, and relevant department officials, Finance Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali addressed the media.

Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali said, “We have assessed the current situation, and I want to reassure the public that there will be no shortage of necessary commodities during Ramadan. There is no need to be worried.”

Highlighting possible attempts to create instability by certain vested quarters, he added, “As the month of Ramadan approaches, the government is actively working to maintain stable price levels. We believe there is no need for anxiety. If necessary, we will take even stricter action. Stringent punishment will be ensured, and no one will be spared in this regard.”
