The foreign exchange market in Bangladesh continues to reflect the country’s expanding international trade relations and the growing economic contribution of millions of expatriate Bangladeshis. Remittances sent from overseas workers remain a vital pillar supporting national reserves and sustaining overall economic stability.

On this day, the buying rate for the US dollar has been recorded at 122.70 Bangladeshi taka, while the selling rate stands at 122.75 taka. The average indicative rate is approximately 122.70 taka, reflecting a relatively stable short-term movement in the currency market.
The euro and British pound continue to command higher values due to strong international demand.
