For nearly two years, Bangladeshi consumers have suffered under an executive system that gave the government unchecked power to set energy prices without their input.

The business leaders are scheduled to sit with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina soon to review gas and power prices, as they are facing difficulties because of the high prices of the two, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi said today.

Tamed inflation, descending gas prices, more job openings coming to the market every month, and the US dollar’s continued reign in the currency market all promise a prosperous 2023 for everyone in America - citizens, residents, students, or even visitors. If you are planning to come as a tourist, enrol here as a student or visit the US by any other means, try it now.

The Consumers Association of Bangladesh took the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission to court to make them review their decision to hike gas prices and the High Court on Monday asked BERC why it was not doing so.
