Despite rising global fuel prices driven by escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, the Bangladesh government currently has no plans to increase domestic fuel prices, according to Economic Advisor Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed.

Dr. Ahmed stated that while the global energy market is being affected by the ongoing conflict, the government is closely monitoring the situation and preparing for potential impacts on imports. "We are observing the developments carefully. If the conflict persists, it could affect the prices of imported goods, including fuel and fertilizer, as most of our imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz," he explained.

However, he assured that there is no immediate cause for concern. “The government does not believe there is a need to worry just yet. We remain hopeful that the conflict will not become prolonged,” he added.
