Bangladesh is struggling to manage a worsening fuel supply crisis triggered by the ongoing Middle East war and rising global oil prices. Despite government assurances of adequate reserves, long queues persist at petrol stations, and dealers report receiving only half of their required petrol and octane. The government earlier introduced and then withdrew a rationing system, claiming the situation had normalized. However, conflicting statements from ministries, distributors, and fuel station owners continue to create public confusion.
Energy experts attribute the crisis to a lack of coordination among government departments, state-owned enterprises, and private distributors. They argue that the government failed to take timely, unified action after the outbreak of the conflict, which has disrupted global supply chains. The International Energy Agency (IEA) had warned of severe global shortages and issued ten recommendations, but experts say these were not considered by the authorities.
Experts urge the government to prioritize essential sectors such as agriculture, promote fuel-efficient practices, and encourage public transport use. They warn that ignoring the crisis could deepen its impact on the economy and daily life.
