DHAKA, May 6, 2022 (BSS) - Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa
Jabbar has said conventional trade in the digital era would become digital
trade due to unavoidable reasons and it would be the time of cashless
society.
 
"The civilization of paper is on its way to extinction. In the near future
there would be nothing called paper due to natural and technological
reasons," he said.
 
The minister said this while addressing an online post-Eid reunion of e-
Commerce Association of Bangladesh (e-CAB) last night.

Presided over by e-CAB president Shomi Kaiser and conducted by its general
secretary Muhammad Abdul Wahed Tomal, the online function was also addressed
by the members of the country's e-Commerce entrepreneurs' body.
 
The Posts and Telecommunications Minister in his speech further said there is
no alternative to attain digital efficiency and it is necessary to take
integrated initiative to turn digital commerce into a proper trade sector.
