Bangladesh has raised retail fuel prices for the second time in six weeks, increasing petrol and kerosene prices by 5 taka per litre in a move that could add to inflationary pressures in the import-dependent economy, Reuters reports.
The new rates set petrol at 140 taka ($1.15) per litre and kerosene at 135 taka per litre. Prices of diesel, the country’s most widely used fuel, remain unchanged at 115 taka per litre.
