Inflation: cause and remedy.

Abstract

The article "Inflation: Cause and Remedy" by M. Azizur Rahman, published in Daily Sun on 29.06.2013, provides an in-depth analysis of the root causes and potential solutions to inflation in Bangladesh. The author identifies key drivers such as supply chain disruptions, excessive monetary growth, global commodity price fluctuations, and structural inefficiencies in domestic production. The article critiques short-term policy responses and advocates for a multi-pronged approach combining prudent monetary measures, agricultural productivity enhancement, market monitoring mechanisms, and targeted subsidies for essential commodities. Rahman emphasizes the need for long-term structural reforms to stabilize prices while safeguarding economic growth and vulnerable populations.
