Uninterrupted supply key to market stability: Adviser

CHATTOGRAM, Sept 13 (BSS): Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin has said that uninterrupted supply of goods is key to effective market management.

He highlighted that due to the government's comprehensive efforts during the last Ramadan, the supply chain remained stable, which helped keep the prices of essentials low.

The adviser was speaking as the chief guest at the closing session of a two-day international conference on 'Future of Business: Innovation, Technology and Sustainable Development' organised by the Bureau of Business Research of Chittagong University at a hotel in the city on Friday, said a PID release.

The commerce adviser said that though there is a shortage of raw materials for production in the country, students can help increase production and overcome this challenge by acquiring agriculture-based knowledge.

Referring to the period after the mass uprising, the adviser said bringing the market back on track was a challenge.

"Through collective efforts, we were able to overcome that situation," he said, adding: "If future governments can run the market management in a democratic way, with coordinated efforts and neutral reforms, the market system will be strengthened, ensuring equitable distribution of resources."

Vice-Chancellor of Chittagong University Dr. Muhammad Yeahia Akhter, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Dr. Mohammad Shamim Uddin Khan, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Dr. Md. Kamal Uddin, Dean of Business Administration Faculty Dr. Mohammad Taiyub Chowdhury, University Grants Commission Member Mohammad Ayub Islam and Chairman of Sonali Bank Mohammad Muslim Chowdhury attended
