Proposal for gas price hike faces opposition

A committee of the energy regulator has opposed the proposal of transmission charge hike of Gas Transmission Company Ltd (GTCL) as the state-run company is already realising more than it requires in meeting expenditures. Considering the demand for revenue in the current fiscal year, Tk 0.13 is enough for the transmission of a cubic metre of natural gas, said a technical assessment committee of Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission or BERC. A report by the committee concluded that the current tariff of Tk 0.32 is already exceeding the company's revenue requirement by Tk 0.19 per unit. The BERC panel presented the report at a public hearing yesterday on GTCL's proposal to increase transmission charges to Tk 0.47 per cubic metre for 2014-15, Tk 0.73 for 2015-16 and Tk 0.75 for 2016-17.

Let the world know successes of Bangladesh: CACCI

Bangladesh should tell the world about its extraordinary achievements on development and economic fronts as the country's successes are mostly unknown to most countries, a foreign business leader said yesterday. “Bangladesh will have to tell the story of its achievements to the world," said Jemal Inaishvili, president of Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI). "It is a success story. The country has achieved a lot since its independence, especially in the last 10 to 15 years. Everyone should see it because it is completely different from what I was expecting," he said at a meeting with Finance Minister AMA Muhith at the latter's office in the secretariat. Inaishvili is heading a business delegation from CACCI on a four-day visit to Bangladesh on the invitation of Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

Alibaba's Ma says IPO of Ant Financial unlikely in 2015

Jack Ma, chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding, said on Monday he hoped the company's financial affiliate would list in Asia at some point, but that no decision on the timing or location had been made. The comments follow a Bloomberg report last week quoting unidentified sources as saying Zhejiang Ant Small & Micro Financial Services Group, known as Ant Financial, was planning an initial public offering (IPO) next year and the company had an estimated value of about $50 billion. "Ant Financial is still a baby today with great potential. It's just too early to talk about who it's going to get married to," Ma said. Asked if a listing would happen this year, he responded: "I don't think so." Set up in 2014, Ant Financial has been growing rapidly, largely through targeting smaller businesses and hundreds of millions of consumers who are often under served by China's larger banks. Ant runs the Alipay online payment platform, the linked Yu'e Bao money market fund and other services.
