The unusual rising in prices of daily
essential commodities can be defined as price
hike.
At present it is a common phenomenon in Bangladesh. Many
reasons are responsible behind
price hike. Rapid growth of population,
hoarding, black market, market syndicate, natural disasters, limited cultivable
lands, shortage of commodities supply, money inflation, political turmoil etc.
are the most common in them. Besides, most often some dishonest and greedy
businessmen create an artificial crisis in the market to make illegal profit.
Consequently, there occurs price hike. The effects of price spiral are beggar
description. Mainly the poor and the middle class people are the worst suffer
for it. Govt. should take some effective steps such as creating monitoring
cell, keeping strong to import product in crisis condition, motivating farmers
to grow hi-breed crops etc. Again, the law enforcement agencies should take
punitive action against the greedy businessmen and black marketers. Mass media
can also play a vital role to reduce this issue.
