Ahsanul Islam (Titu), the recently appointed State Minister of the Commerce Ministry, has declared decisive measures against any manipulation of consumer goods by major corporate importers. During a meeting at the Commerce Ministry conference room on January 14, he affirmed that commodity prices would be regulated through intelligent market management.
Addressing journalists, Ahsanul Islam stated, “I don’t believe in syndicates, but a few large institutions import consumer goods. These institutions must be brought to the right track.” Emphasizing the need for accountability, he added, “From now on, if these institutions engage in any manipulation, they will be strictly suppressed.”
The state minister clarified that this enforcement would not resort to coercion or oppression. Instead, it aims to ensure a seamless supply of goods from production to import stages, all the way to the consumer level. The overarching goal is to maintain commodity prices within the public’s purchasing power, demonstrating a commitment to fair market practices.
