The government says that in the last 6 months, Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (state oil company) has suffered a loss of 8 billion taka (Bangladeshi currency). Here, due to the Russia-Ukraine war, fuel prices have increased in the international market. So there was no option but to breathe. As soon as the prices in the international market come down, the fuel prices in the country will also be reduced.
