The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) has recommended strengthening the ongoing oil, gas and coal exploration efforts, aiming to ensure uninterrupted supply of energy to the industries and other sectors.
The apex-trade body made the recommendation at the first meeting of its standing committee on the 'Power Energy and Utility Affairs' at its Motijheel office in the capital recently.
While presiding over the meeting, FBCCI President Mahbubul Alam said that the uninterrupted supply of energy to the industries is a heartfelt and longstanding demand of the business community.
But, the supply of energy to the industrial belt was partly hampering due to some global crises. The increased production cost has also contributed to the increase in the prices of essential products, he said.
"We've been maintaining regular communication with the government on how to supply uninterrupted supply of power during the upcoming Sumner season," he maintained.
"There is no alternative to the uninterrupted supply of energy to the country's economy," he continued.
