parliamentary committee
The government faces severe fiscal pressure from maintaining subsidies and securing imports amidst global supply chain disruptions and high spot market costs.
Finance Minister presented the FY2026-27 national budget of Tk 9.38 trillion to Parliament.
The World Bank approved $1.1 billion in emergency support for fertilizer and fuel market stability.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division issued a notification maintaining existing retail fuel prices for July 2026.
Parliament passed the FY2026-27 national budget, including the Finance Bill and Appropriation Bill.
The government approved the procurement of 480,000 metric tonnes of fuel oil from Unipec Singapore Pte Ltd.
No single entity under the exact name 'Inter-Ministerial Committee on Fuel and Fertilizer Pricing' appears in any published gazette, Cabinet Division notification, or press source as a permanent standing body. The pricing and subsidy architecture is instead split: (1) Petroleum retail prices are set monthly by the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources under the automatic pricing formula (gazette of 29 Feb 2024), with Finance Ministry involvement at CCGP level for procurement approval. (2) Fertilizer retail prices are set by the Ministry of Agriculture under the Fertilizer (Management) Act 2006. (3) Gas prices for fertilizer factories are determined by BERC via public hearings (Tk 29.25/m3 since Dec 2025). (4) A six-member ad hoc inter-ministerial committee formed July 2025 (convener: Joint Secretary Md Monir Hossain Chowdhury, Energy Division; member secretary: Petrobangla Director of Finance AKM Mizanur Rahman) monitors gas supply and subsidies for BCIC urea factories. (5) A Cabinet-level six-member Committee on Electricity and Energy Price Adjustment was formed by Cabinet Division notification dated 9 April 2026, chaired by Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury. This record documents the combined inter-ministerial pricing architecture under that slug as the closest match to a permanent pricing committee. verification_status is 'partial': the constituent bodies are all documented from primary press sources but no single entity under this exact name is gazette-notified. head_since reflects the date Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury assumed office (17 February 2026) with the Tarique Rahman cabinet.
