Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus on Monday rolled up his sleeves to tackle a pressing concern: keeping Bangladesh’s markets stable.

At a special meeting of the advisory council, he chaired in Tejgaon, Yunus issued firm directives—monitor the markets, manage imports, and ensure supply—to hold commodity prices steady.

The orders came sharp and clear, as Forest and Environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan relayed at a press briefing that afternoon at the Foreign Service Academy on Bailey Road.

“Prices are stable now,” she said, channelling Yunus’s resolve. “The Chief Adviser has tasked relevant advisers with vigilant market oversight, imports, and distribution to keep it that way.”

This isn’t just bureaucracy—it’s a lifeline. With Ramadan in full swing and holidays looming, Yunus’s move signals a hands-on bid to shield wallets from volatility. His council’s focus: not just watching prices, but steering the supply chain to match demand.
