Dr MM Akash believes misgovernance and mismanagement gave some traders leeway to control imports and market prices by hoarding products, which is causing the rising inflation.
Inflation fell slightly to 9.69 percent in July from 9.74 percent in the previous month thanks to the steady prices of non-food items, according to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).
Inflation dropped in rural areas in April from a month ago but went up in urban areas, data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) showed yesterday.
