Businesses should not raise prices of goods disproportionately during the holy month of Ramadan, Information Minister Hasan Mahmud said today.
All countries of the world decrease prices of goods when there is a festival, but the opposite happens in Bangladesh, he said.
“I request you (businesses) all, please keep prices of products at a bearable level during Ramadan.”
He made the comments at the opening of the 30th edition of Chattogram International Trade Fair.
Chattogram Chamber of Commerce and Industry organised the month-long fair at the Pologround in the port city.
The government runs with the help of the tax paid by the general mass, he said.
So, the people with taxable income should be brought under the tax net immediately, Mahmud said.
Some 300 companies from different countries, including India, Thailand and Iran, will showcase their products in 400 stalls.
The fair will have 20 premier pavilions, 56 premier stalls, 94 gold stalls, 48 mega stalls, 11 food stalls in three separate zones.
