State Minister for Textiles and Jute Md. Shariful Alam stated that prices of essential commodities in Dhaka markets have remained stable following the announcement of the proposed national budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year. He made the remarks on Monday after an unannounced inspection at Karwan Bazar, where he spoke with wholesalers, retailers, and consumers about supply and marketing conditions.
According to the minister, most daily essentials are being sold at stable prices and the overall supply situation is satisfactory. He noted that the Tk 9.38 trillion budget is designed to be people-friendly, with increased allocations for social protection and education, as well as tax exemptions on certain essential goods to ease inflationary pressure. He added that, unlike previous years, no post-budget price hikes have been observed this time.
Shariful Alam credited coordinated monitoring by the Ministry of Commerce, the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection, and local administrations for maintaining normal supply. He warned that any attempt to raise prices without justification would face action.
