Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has made it clear that fuel prices will not increase, according to his Policy and Strategy Adviser Jahid Ur Rahman. Speaking at a press conference organized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on March 25, the adviser warned that petrol pump owners would not benefit from hoarding fuel. He emphasized that the government is monitoring the situation and urged citizens to refrain from panic buying.
Jahid Ur Rahman explained that the current fuel supply strain is linked to global crises and public fear rather than government mismanagement. He compared the situation to a bank run, noting that excessive withdrawals—or in this case, hoarding—can disrupt normal supply chains. The adviser said the government deliberately avoided raising domestic fuel prices to prevent inflation, given the country’s limited purchasing power.
He added that fuel rationing before Eid was lifted to ensure smooth travel, and called for public awareness to prevent unnecessary shortages caused by fear-driven behavior.
