After Egg, Chicken Prices Soaring Now
The people of the country have seen many dramas about eggs for several days. Its price was increasing by leaps and bounds on various pretexts. Finally, some relief has returned to the egg market due to import duty exemption, but discomfort has started in the chicken market.
This was seen by visiting various markets of the capital including Karwan Bazar, and New Market Bazar on Friday (October 18).
A few days ago, the retail price of eggs touched Tk180-190 per dozen. Egg prices fell after the last egg import duty was reduced to 20 percent. At present, each dozen eggs are being sold at the retail level at Tk155-160. In wholesale, a dozen eggs are being sold at Tk150 and hali at Tk50.
Traders said that efforts are being made to sell eggs at government prices. If the supply is good, the price will come down very soon.
Buyers say that the price of fish and chicken in the market is already unbridled. Still more than Tk150 per dozen eggs.
A buyer named Md. Hossain Ali said that it is not possible to buy fish and meat. Now the price of eggs is also high. It also has to struggle to meet the protein needs.
It has been seen in the market that broiler chickens are being sold at Tk200-210 per kg and golden chickens are being sold at Tk280-300. The white layer is selling for Tk250 and the red layer is selling for Tk280.
The sellers say that the supply of chicken has decreased in the market. Moreover, rising prices of chicken feed and chicks are disrupting the production system, which is also affecting the market.
Abdul Alim, a chicken trader in Karwan Bazar, said that chickens are not coming like before. Along with this, the price increase in wholesale has an impact on the retail market as well.
A buyer named Faruque said that the price of eggs and chicken is very high in the market. The campaign is not working. The syndicate of traders is very strong. It will not be possible to break this syndicate unless strict laws are enforced.

Banking Sector Reforms Underway, Customers Confidence Being Restored
The banking sector has been on the path of development since the interim government took over. Looting in the name of loans has stopped, and customers are regaining confidence in deposits. As a result, the liquidity crisis has started to decrease.
Under the leadership of the dictator Sheikh Hasina, the Awami misrule of almost 16 years has been the festival of looting and money laundering.

But hopefully, the banking sector has started to turn around since the interim government took over. According to the data of Bangladesh Bank, at the end of last August, 43 banks out of 61 scheduled banks have excess liquidity, amounting to Tk 1 lakh 90 thousand 306 crores.
Excess liquidity in five state-owned banks is Tk 63 thousand 670 crore. Of this, only Sonali Bank has 49 thousand 43 crores. 31 private banks have 91 thousand 674 crore taka. Besides, additional liquidity in 9 foreign banks is 34 thousand 677 crores.
Banking sector expert Dr Toufic Ahmad Choudhury said that the owners or the board used to collect deposits from all the employees. Then they took them under the name of sharing and lending. As these are stopped, the confidence of the customers is returning. As a result, deposits in banks are also increasing.
Towfiqul Islam Khan, Senior Research Fellow of Center for Policy Dialogue (CPD) said, that if the hide-and-seek game that has been going on in the banking sector for a long time is not overcome, people's trust will not be returned.
