The new Bangladesh government has launched multiple initiatives to stabilize essential commodity prices during Ramadan, including nationwide market monitoring and mobile court operations led by the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection and district administrations. Prime Minister Tarique Rahman urged traders to avoid profiteering during the holy month and ensure affordability for ordinary citizens. An inter-ministerial committee, headed by the finance minister, was formed to implement a new family card program, expected to provide more than double the financial support of existing schemes.

Ministers and officials have announced strict measures against hoarding and market syndicates, while local administrations in Rajbari, Habiganj, Nilphamari, and Chattogram have conducted raids and imposed fines for irregularities. The government also began distributing affordable protein foods and essential goods through family cards, mobile truck sales, and OMS outlets, targeting over one million families. The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) started selling five key products at reduced prices nationwide.

Business leaders and consumer groups expressed optimism that the government’s strict monitoring and supply measures would help keep prices stable throughout Ramadan.
