Commerce adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin at a programme in Chattogram on Friday said that uninterrupted supply of goods was the key to market management.
The adviser made the remark as chief guest at the closing session of the two-day international conference titled Future of Business: Innovation, Technology and Sustainable Development, which was organised by the Bureau of Business Research of Chittagong University at Hotel Radisson Blu, said a press release.
鈥楧ue to the government鈥檚 comprehensive efforts in the past Ramadan, the supply chain remained stable, keeping the prices of essentials low,鈥� he said, adding that though there was a shortage of raw materials for production in the country, students could help increase production and overcome this shortage through acquiring agriculture-based knowledge.
The adviser said that bringing the market on track was a challenge as many members of the so-called syndicates fled abroad, referring to the situation after the mass uprising.
鈥楾hrough collective efforts, we were able to overcome that situation,鈥� he said, adding that if future governments could run the market management in a democratic way through coordinated efforts and bring neutral reforms, the market system would be strengthened, ensuring equitable distribution of resources.
With vice-chancellor of Chittagong University Professor Muhammad Yeahia Akhter, pro-VC Professor Mohammad Shamim Uddin Khan, pro-VC Professor Md Kamal Uddin, dean of business administration faculty Professor Mohammad Taiyub Chowdhury, University Grants Commission member Professor Mohammad Ayub Islam and chairman of Sonali Bank PLC Mohammad Muslim Chowdhury attended the event.
Later, the commerce adviser handed over crests to individuals and institutions in recognition of their special contributions to business and commerce.
