Adviser to the Ministries of Finance and Commerce Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Sunday said the government prioritises bringing back the money laundered abroad.
“We have formed a task force to bring back money illegally taken abroad. We started work on bringing back the money,” he told reporters after the Adviser's Council Committee on Government Procurement (ACCGP) meeting at the Bangladesh Secretariat, reports BSS.
Responding to another question on market conditions, the adviser said that vegetables are seasonal products and assured that prices of vegetables would come down soon.
"We’re doing everything for stabilising the market. The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) and other agencies are providing efforts to ensure the supply of daily commodities,” he added.
He informed me that the government has started selling agricultural products at affordable prices under the Open Market Sale (OMS) programme in different areas of the city to stabilise the market.
TCB, the Department of Agricultural Marketing and some other private agencies are selling daily commodities at fair prices, he added.
Salehuddin informed that the government will further increase the volume of sales under TCB.
