"As a result of this initiative, we hope that our product supply system will have a positive impact and the market will remain stable," he said.
Explaining reasons for commodity price spirals, he mentioned price increases in the international market, increased transport costs, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the dollar crisis.
However, he said unreasonable price hikes are never desirable.
With the initiative, low-income people will get some relief, he said, expecting that other big companies in the country will also follow Bashundhara.
