On behalf of the business community, the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has called for immediate measures to restore law and order in Dhaka and across the country.
The DCCI has also recommended the swift formation and declaration of an interim government in a lawful manner to address the current law and order situation and mitigate economic damages, according to a press release issued today.
The chamber urged all relevant parties to take necessary actions to achieve this.
DCCI emphasized that an interim government is crucial to restoring the democratic election process and returning the country to its people and their elected representatives.
In light of recent political unrest and challenges, the Dhaka Chamber highlighted the urgent need for a quick restoration of law and order and requested all necessary actions to resume normal economic activities as soon as possible.
The nationwide economic operations have been significantly disrupted. Therefore, immediate measures are essential to restore law and order and recover from the substantial damage.
The recent events have severely impacted people’s lives and the economy, disrupting daily living and economic conditions. Without effective measures, supply chain disruptions will cause further damage and increase public suffering.
It is imperative to resume economic operations to their fullest extent for the greater good of the nation. The private sector, a key driver of the economy, requires prompt and substantial support to overcome the setbacks caused by recent disruptions. Addressing law, order, and economic stability is of urgent and utmost priority for the country.
Moving forward, a conducive environment must be established to facilitate economic recovery characterized by political and regulatory certainty. By fostering a stable political environment, DCCI can rebuild business confidence and activities both domestically and internationally.
DCCI called for collective efforts from all stakeholders, including the imminent interim government, the private sector, and political parties, to mitigate the impact of recent losses and damages through a rigorous and sustainable economic recovery process.
The Dhaka Chamber is also committed to working closely with all relevant stakeholders, including the forthcoming interim government and others, through coordinated efforts to overcome current challenges and achieve the much-needed prosperity of the nation.
