The Bangladesh government will next month introduce unique business identification (UBID), which will be mandatory for all e-commerce entities operating in the country. A central complaint management system (CCMS) and a digital interoperable transaction platform called ‘Binimoy’ will also be introduced in February and March respectively to help ensure discipline in the e-commerce sector.

These were discussed at a meeting between the ministry of commerce and the information and communication technology (ICT) division officials to analyse the progress of various platforms to facilitate and ensure transparency in e-commerce operations.

ICT state minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak said all digital commerce operators in the country must register themselves with the government using UBID.
