Bangladesh’s trade and economic engagement with the global market continues to deepen, driven in large part by the contributions of its vast diaspora. Millions of Bangladeshis living abroad send remittances back home, serving as a vital engine for the country’s economy. These inflows not only support household consumption but also enhance liquidity in the domestic market, providing crucial momentum for local business operations and investment initiatives.
To facilitate smooth foreign currency transactions for expatriates, Bangladesh Bank regularly publishes the buying and selling rates of major foreign currencies. These rates offer an essential benchmark for both financial institutions and individuals engaged in currency exchange and remittance activities.
On 25 March 2026, the average exchange rates in Bangladesh’s currency market were recorded as follows. According to Bangladesh Bank data, the buying and selling rates of the US Dollar were both fixed at BDT 122.75. The Euro was slightly higher, with a buying rate of BDT 142.47 and a selling rate of BDT 142.48. Rates for other principal currencies are outlined below.
| Currency | Buying Rate (BDT) | Selling Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.75 | 122.75 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 164.59 | 164.64 |
| Euro (EUR) | 142.47 | 142.48 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.77 | 0.77 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 86.09 | 86.02 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 96.01 | 96.07 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 89.18 | 89.19 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.30 | 1.30 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.59 | 32.60 |
Bangladesh Bank emphasises that these rates are subject to change in response to time-sensitive domestic and international market conditions. Key factors influencing currency fluctuations include oil price movements, the stability of the US Dollar on global markets, and the volume of remittance inflows from overseas.
Analysts note that the current relative stability of the US Dollar, along with modest fluctuations in the Euro and Pound, may have a positive effect on Bangladesh’s economy. Business operators and investors can utilise this information to plan their foreign exchange transactions and remittance strategies more effectively.
For expatriate Bangladeshis, the published rates serve as a critical reference, enabling them to gauge how much local currency they will receive when exchanging or sending money. Regular dissemination of such data is crucial not only for individual financial planning but also for maintaining economic stability and supporting the smooth functioning of international trade.
