Inflation has decreased by 1 percent. Salehuddin Ahmed said, “Relief will come soon.” He said this while talking to reporters after the meeting of the Advisory Committee on Government Procurement at the Secretariat yesterday.

Regarding the increase in the prices of daily necessities in the market, the financial adviser said, “The normal point-to-point inflation has almost stabilized. Officially, headline inflation has officially dropped to 1 percent. Overall we have been able to keep inflation at a stable level.

Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed told reporters that last September, the country’s overall price inflation dropped to 9.92 percent, which was 10.49 percent in August.

Stating that the government is working to control inflation, he said, “It will take some time to fully control it.” In the meantime, we have reduced the duty on oil. Today (Wednesday) the duty on sugar has been reduced.

There will be no shortage of daily necessities. Salehuddin Ahmed said, “There will be no shortage of daily necessities.” Purchase of lentils has been approved. Import of LNG and purchase of fertilizer has also been approved. I hope you will get relief.

In response to the question of when the common people will get relief. Salehuddin Ahmed said, “Relief will come, but you should be patient.” But this thing is very complicated. It would not be right to think that inflation has suddenly increased. There are many factors behind it. Here is the market factor. There is a monitoring factor in the market. There is a lot to do in the field of product manufacturing and marketing.

Dr. in response to another question. Salehuddin claimed, “It is not that extortion has not decreased, but extortion has decreased.” But it cannot be said that the change of hands in various fields has decreased at the moment. However, there are also matters related to the law and order situation.

However, when asked about the increase in the price of eggs, the financial adviser did not give any direct answer.
