Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reiterated her call to the countrymen to focus more on savings and show austerity in all stages amid the wake of global economic crisis.
She said: "People need to be motivated so we can successfully tackle the present economic crisis facing us the way we did during the global coronavirus pandemic."
The premier made the call while speaking at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) in capital's NEC Conference Room on Tuesday.
Noting that people are the strength of the government, she expressed hope that as long as the people are with the government, there should be no worries.
The prime minister said that to keep the food supply chain smooth the government will provide policy support as well as monitor the storage and transportation of food products so that no issues like hoarding arise.
Sheikh Hasina also directed relevant authorities to not approve any non-essential development projects at the time.
Mentioning the ongoing power crisis amid inflation fears and fuel shortage, the prime minister urged countrymen to become more frugal in using electricity.
