Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal has said the government is evaluating the impact of the hike in fuel price on the livelihoods of common people in the country, reports BSS.
“Necessary steps will be taken in consultation with the high-ups of the government based on the evaluation,” he said while talking to journalists at his secretariat office on Wednesday.
He said when there is a price hike in fuel, the price of essentials increases affecting the poor section of people.
“The government has been working to resolve the problems of the poor section of people and it will continue to do so. The government will take steps to give relief to the poor and low-income group of people,” he added.
Kamal said that the government is thinking about taking measures for the poor to protect them from possible inflation and the decision would be taken in this regard after discussion with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
