Independent Review of
RBD
Bangladesh's Development
Policy Recommendations
The Minimum Wage Board should consider increasing the
minimum wages in all industries so that workers earning minimum
wages may at least afford basic food
□ Private sector corporations should consider a higher salary
increment in 2022, given that a 5% increment of salary in the face of
double digit price hikes is compelling workers to seriously compromise their
standard of living
☐ The volume of sale of essential commodities through the open market system
(OMS) should be increased
Distribution of these commodities must be managed effectively
and without any corruption, so that the eligible people have access to
these items at low prices
The government should provide direct cash support to the poor, enhance
social protection for low-income families, and extend stimulus to the small
businesses for their survival during difficult times
