This paper examines the challenges Bangladesh faces in the wake of oil price hikes. The author warns that if not tackled prudently, the oil shock could derail the country’s hard-earned macroeconomic stability. He recommends that in the short run, the economy needs to phase out fuel subsidies gradually while in the medium term, market and technology should be allowed to spur the solution with minimal state intervention.
