Bangladesh’s interim government has criticized traders for raising edible oil prices without prior consultation or approval from authorities. Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin stated that the traders increased prices by around 20 taka per liter despite recently selling oil to the government at lower rates. He questioned both the justification and legality of the move, suggesting that the price hike lacked any rational basis.
