Cabinet Secretary Nasimul Gani announced that Bangladesh currently holds a one-month reserve of fuel oil, exceeding the usual 15-day stock. He said the government is working to further increase reserves to ensure supply stability. The statement came during a press briefing at the Secretariat following a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
Gani explained that the Prime Minister reviewed the national energy situation, assessing ministry actions and available resources. He urged the public not to panic-buy fuel, noting that excessive purchases could lead to waste. The government has approved the purchase of two LNG cargoes through the Cabinet Committee on Public Procurement to maintain energy supply amid international market challenges.
Addressing rumors of possible fuel price hikes, the Cabinet Secretary said he was unaware of any such plans or indications. He also clarified that all types of fuel currently have sufficient reserves and that international jet fuel price increases have not directly affected domestic pricing.
