Commerce Minister, Khandakar Abdul Muktadir has said, the government will continue its efforts to address the trade deficit and maintain a balance between wholesale and retail prices of daily necessities.
He also mentioned that, a fact-finding committee will begin its work right after Eid.
The minister came up with the statement on Monday morning after inaugurating the canal re-digging program in Osmani Nagar.
He said, the government will try to ensure that the gap between retail and wholesale prices does not reach an unacceptable level.
