一 |     Colombo, Oct 9 (UNI) The Sri Lankan government is planning to pass new anti-corruption laws, local media reported on Sunday.

Under these laws, an Independent Commission would be established and its officers will be able to arrest suspects without a magisterial order or a warrant, local media reported, quoting the Attorney General's Department.

The new laws will also authorize the director-general of the Independent Commission to seek magisterial permission to unlock or unencrypt equipment suspected to be used in corrupt activities and provide information contained therein.

The bill also seeks to compel public officials to make periodic declarations of their assets and liabilities within and outside Sri Lanka.

二 |     Dhaka, Oct 12 (UNI) Inflation in Bangladesh accelerated to 9.52 per cent in August, the highest in 10 years, mainly driven by higher food prices, the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has reported.

In addition, the country's overall inflation eased slightly to 9.10 per cent in September, according to Planning Minister MA Mannan on Tuesday.

Data showed that food inflation soared to 9.94 per cent in August, the highest since April of 2012, and eased slightly to 9.08 per cent in September.

Non-food items inflation, however, increased to 9.13 per cent in September from 8.85 percent in August, the data showed.

Due to higher food prices amid uncertainties stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Mannan said inflation has been on an upward trend over the past several months in Bangladesh.

He stressed the need for bolstering food production domestically to rein in soaring food prices.

Mannan, however, expressed his satisfaction with the decrease in CPI in September, saying it's good news for the government as it tried to rein in inflation in line with the budgetary target.

In June, the country unveiled a record nearly 7 trillion-taka (about 70 billion U.S. dollars) national budget for the 2022-23 fiscal year starting in July and the government said it is committed to containing the rising trend of inflation by addressing inconsistencies between supply and demand.

According to the budget proposal, Bangladesh is targeting an average inflation rate of 5.6 per cent in the new fiscal year.
