                <![CDATA[Finance and Planning Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury has accused black market operators of exploiting the ongoing fuel crisis to damage the government&rsquo;s image, amid supply pressures linked to conflict in the Middle East. The Minister has said in a meeting at the Institution of Engineers auditorium in Dhaka that some traders were hoarding fuel and engaging in illicit activities to create artificial shortages. He noted that the current energy crunch in Bangladesh has been driven by disruptions in global supply due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

However, he emphasized that the government has stepped up efforts to secure fuel from multiple sources and maintain steady supply. &ldquo;The government is maintaining strong communication and taking proactive measures to import fuel from various sources. In fact, more fuel is being supplied now than before,&rdquo; the minister said.

                <![CDATA[Staff Correspondent Bangladesh&rsquo;s remittance inflow has dipped by 22.79 percent over the first 26 days of April compared with what expatriates sent in the same period last month, according to Bangladesh Bank data.

In March, Bangladesh raked in Tk 2.94 billion over the first 26 days before posting a record-breaking Tk 3.29 billion in the whole month.

Bangladeshis abroad had sent Tk 1.91 billion in the first 19 days in April through banking channels, and the following seven days registered Tk 550 million inflow

According to bankers, March saw the highest-ever inward remittance due to Eid-ul-Fitr, which is usually the case every year.

Bangladesh recorded its second-highest monthly remittance in December 2024, reaching $2.64 billion, while the third-highest inflow came in February this year at $2.54 billion.

A treasury head of a private bank told bdnews24.com that the volatility of the dollar rate in the market has somewhat settled due to a slowdown in the Hundi business. The difference between banking channels and Hundi rates has lowered to around Tk 0.5-0.6, down from Tk 7-8 earlier.

The head of treasury chief of another bank said the banks were not manipulating remittances like before. The highest rate, Tk 122, was being offered.

In late January this year, the dollar rate soared to Tk 128 due to rising demand, with some banks purchasing remittances at Tk 126.

In response, Bangladesh Bank capped the remittance exchange rate at Tk 123.
