Inflation goes up with new pay scale: Muhith

The finance minister, AMA Muhith, on Wednesday said inflation went up with the implementation of fresh pay scale for public employees. Service holders in the private sector faced problems due to the inflation, the minister observed while talking to reporters after a meeting with World Bank’s new executive director, Shubash C Grag, at his residence. He said private firms should take measures to adjust salaries and wages of their employees and staffs. Muhith said the pay commission appointed by the government would submit a report shortly. He said he is expecting to receive the report after returning to Dhaka from a Singapore visit. Officials of the ministry of finance said Muhith is scheduled to leave the capital on Thursday, but his date of return was not set yet.
