The monitoring taskforce of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) in association with government agencies concerned will monitor the price situation to keep the prices of essential commodities stable during Ramadan.
A meeting of leading importers, wholesalers and retailers from across the country with leaders of the apex trade body yesterday took the decision to keep a close watch on the existing price situation in different markets.
The stocktaking took place at a time when newspapers say the market still went on behaving erratically, despite various government measures to bring down prices.
They decided to take initiative for hanging price list of main commodities in each kitchen market in the capital “to make the selling operations transparent so there should be no scope for conflict with the buyers”.
Besides, it would be ensured that the wholesalers and stockists give receipt to the retailers during selling commodities to them. Contact phone numbers have to be inscribed on the receipt.
Chaired by FBCCI President Annisul Huq, the meeting also elaborately discussed current supply and price situation of essential commodities.
