Bangladesh Business & Economy
Bangladesh hunts for fuel worldwide as energy crisis deepens
The government approved emergency imports of 2.60 lakh tonnes of diesel and crude — from Kazakhstan, Indonesia, and a UAE-based trader — to contain a worsening fuel crunch triggered by the US-Israel war on Iran. Long queues persist at pumps across Dhaka despite official assurances of no shortage.
Energy import bill to surge $4.8B this year
Annual fossil fuel import costs are projected to rise 40% from 2025 levels — equal to 1.1% of GDP — if oil prices stay elevated. The country’s only refinery holds crude for just 17–18 days at current pace, per Zero Carbon Analytics.
Trump signals Iran wind-down; Brent dips below $100
Trump said overnight the US would leave Iran “in two to three weeks,” pushing Brent below $100/barrel for the first time in a week — a rare relief for Dhaka’s import bill and inflation outlook.

ORAWEK Note
A Real Observation. From a Real Person.
Every morning this week I’ve woken up to a fuel crisis getting worse and an oil price getting slightly better. The gap between what the government says and what people feel at the pump is enormous. That gap is where trust goes to die — and where smart professionals should be paying attention.
