Global Currency Rates Update

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. In this context, the latest currency exchange rates for Thursday, 9 April 2026, have been published to assist businesses, travellers, and remittance recipients in making informed financial decisions.

According to data released by Bangladesh Bank, the US dollar remains the most influential foreign currency in the local market. 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. The euro is being purchased at 143.09 taka and sold at 143.17 taka, while the pound sterling shows a significantly higher valuation, with buying and selling rates at 164.31 taka and 164.43 taka respectively. These figures highlight the sustained strength of European currencies against the Bangladeshi taka.

The Australian dollar is recorded at 86.41 taka for buying and 86.48 taka for selling.
