The Centre for Policy Dialogue CPD, on Thursday, 20 October, requested that Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation should cut prices of fuel as it has been making profit since August this year.
The think-tank made the suggestion at a media briefing on slowdown in global economy and challenges for Bangladesh.
The event was taken place at CPD’s office in Dhaka.
Bangladesh is going to endure oil production cut by 20 lakh barrels a day by OPEC+ as Saudi Arabia is one of the major oil supplying countries for the nation, it added.
Bangladesh imported 35.8 lakh tonnes of fuel oil in January-June period of 2022 and the country roughly consumes 65 lakh tonnes of petroleum for its domestic use and 90pc plus is met through imports.
