Raushan Ershad said that the prices of many goods were increased due to Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. “But now the price has come down in the world market,” she said.
She mentioned that middle-class people are now joining the lower-income class people for TCB’s fair price OMS.
She said that it has become very urgent to take steps and expand social safety net programs to maintain the growth of the country.
