Bangladesh’s economy remains heavily reliant on international trade and the inflow of remittances from its vast expatriate workforce. Millions of Bangladeshi citizens are employed in labour markets across the globe, and the money they send home plays a crucial role in keeping the nation’s economic engine running. For banks, financial institutions, and businesses engaged in cross-border transactions, staying updated on the latest foreign exchange rates is essential, particularly for those coordinating payments with relatives or partners abroad.
According to the latest figures released by the Bangladesh Bank, on 24 March 2026, the domestic currency market displayed notable stability, with the US dollar trading at identical buying and selling rates. Slight variations were observed for the euro, British pound, and other major foreign currencies. Economic analysts noted that fluctuations in global markets, alongside the supply and demand dynamics of foreign currencies, can directly influence Bangladesh’s currency exchange landscape.
Key Foreign Exchange Rates (24 March 2026)
| Currency | Buying Rate (BDT) | Selling Rate (BDT) | Average Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.75 | 122.75 | 122.75 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 164.82 | 164.86 | 164.84 |
| Euro (EUR) | 142.53 | 142.56 | 142.545 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.77 | 0.77 | 0.77 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 86.09 | 86.02 | 86.055 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 96.28 | 96.29 | 96.285 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 89.42 | 89.42 | 89.42 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.31 | 1.31 | 1.31 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.59 | 32.60 | 32.595 |
Analysis of this data indicates that, while the US dollar and British pound have experienced minor fluctuations, these changes are not substantial. Similarly, differences between buying and selling rates for the euro and other major currencies remain minimal, providing a favourable environment for both trade and remittance inflows.
Experts highlight that maintaining stability in the foreign currency market is closely linked to Bangladesh’s economic policies and the steady flow of remittances. Even currencies such as the Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Saudi riyal show little change in their rates, reflecting consistent market conditions. Expatriates regularly transferring portions of their earnings contribute significantly to strengthening the country’s financial position.
Overall, the stability observed in the foreign exchange market facilitates smoother business transactions, promotes international trade, and enhances the efficiency of remittance operations. Timely updates on currency rates remain indispensable for businesses and overseas Bangladeshis, enabling them to make informed financial decisions and optimise the benefits of their international transactions.
