"The on-going unusual rise of dollar against Bangladeshi currency is causing harm to the country's export trade, which is largely dependent on import, especially the readymade garments sector," said CCCI President Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed in a message issued on Wednesday.

The uneven trend would lead to the discomforting hike of essentials and thereby leave a negative impact on the country's overall socio-economic environment and trade and commerce, he added.

"Although there is no scope to fix specific rate in the existing floating exchange system, the government can resist the unusual trend of the foreign currency market by applying different methods and mechanisms," Saifuzzaman said.

As for interim measure the CCCI president suggested direct supply of dollar from the central bank.

"This alternate step may play a role in lessening the rise of dollar price in the inter-bank transactions and also help the unsteady market return to normalcy," he added.
