277 speeches- 10 June 2026 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman questioned the Government’s sudden decision to require exporters to convert foreign currency earnings into rupees within 30 days, arguing that it reverses earlier liberalization commitments to the IMF and indicates a domestic dollar shortage. He said ad hoc controls and Central Bank directions to prioritize essential import payments would not restore market confidence, despite higher reserves and IMF disbursements. He urged immediate relief for fruit and vegetable exporters affected by the Middle East conflict and port demurrage charges, and called for action on fabric importers and local producers facing higher costs after the replacement of the CESS with 18 per cent VAT.

He also disputed the Government’s cost-of-living figures, arguing they reflect an extreme poverty food line rather than actual household needs, and sought clarity on promised diaspora dollar inflows and related allegations.
