Commerce Minister Khondaker Abdul Muktadir announced that the government is taking major steps to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective oversight in the market system. Speaking at the launch of the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh’s (TCB) truck sale program in Agargaon, Dhaka, ahead of Eid-ul-Azha 2026, he said the initiative includes strategic reserves, AI-based supply and monitoring systems, and enhanced TCB capacity to prevent market manipulation.
The minister stated that the government’s main goal is to deliver subsidized essential goods to low-income and marginal groups. During Ramadan, about 22.8 million beneficiaries received subsidized food, which will increase to 28.8 million this time. Food supply for Eid-ul-Azha has also been raised by 40 percent to around 14,000 tons. He added that TCB’s beneficiary list has been revised to ensure transparency, now including 8 million verified families, with plans to add 2 million more.
Muktadir emphasized that new policies are being introduced to ensure transparency in TCB dealer recruitment and that the agency will be transformed into a fully accountable, technology-driven institution.
