Bangladesh competition laws: Competition law is not an end in itself and to use it, we need to have a good understanding of how markets work. If there is insufficient competition in any sector/product, dominant firms and business syndicates can use their market power to charge higher prices.
Bangladesh’s financial stability may be negatively impacted by the rising trend in LNG prices in the international market, which would ultimately shift the cost burden to social sectors that are more vulnerable if subsidies continue to grow. We need to immediately adopt subsidy reform to streamline spending for the energy sector.
