Fuel Crisis Severely Disrupts Goods Delivery and Business Operations in Bangladesh
A severe fuel crisis in Bangladesh, exacerbated by a Middle East conflict, has led to significant disruptions in goods delivery and business operations. The crisis has resulted in 40-50% of trucks being idle, affecting supply chains across the country. Freight costs have surged, and transport shortages are delaying deliveries and increasing expenses. The crisis is impacting production as well, with companies like Pran-RFL Group facing severe constraints due to gas shortages and reliance on furnace oil and diesel. The government has raised fuel prices, which is expected to further affect inflation and living costs.
