The central bank of Bangladesh has outlined the official foreign exchange figures for 16 September 2026, offering clear direction to commercial lenders, money changers, and international traders navigating the domestic market.
According to the latest monetary figures, the Bangladeshi Taka shows tight spreads across foreign exchange counters for primary reserve currencies. The US Dollar, which remains the cornerstone of the nation’s trade balance, is quoted at a buying price of 123.16 Taka and a selling rate of 123.20 Taka. This minimal margin reflects stable intraday liquidity within authorised dealer networks.
European currencies continue to command strong positions against the Taka. The British Pound Sterling stands at a purchase valuation of 166.49 Taka against a retail sales figure of 166.57 Taka. Meanwhile, the Euro maintains a buying threshold of 142.84 Taka alongside a selling price of 142.93 Taka. Both instruments display razor-thin gaps between buy and sell quotes, benefiting corporate settlement desks handling cross-border payments.
Regional and secondary trading currencies exhibit consistent pricing structures. The Australian Dollar is trading at 88.28 Taka for purchases and 88.35 Taka for sales, while the Singapore Dollar holds at 97.19 Taka buying and 97.22 Taka selling. The Chinese Yuan, an increasingly vital currency for regional import supply chains, sits at 18.35 Taka buying and 18.36 Taka selling. Interestingly, two key regional currencies reflect zero spread at the official level: the Indian Rupee is pegged at 1.29 Taka for both transactions, and the Japanese Yen remains balanced at 0.80 Taka.
Currency valuations direct the rhythm of Bangladesh’s macroeconomy. Fluctuations in these primary rates directly touch foreign education expenses, medical travel, overseas remittances, and bulk import bills for essential commodities. Importers opening letters of credit and non-resident Bangladeshis remitting funds monitor these movements closely to calculate transactional yields.
Actual retail figures may vary slightly at the customer level. Individual commercial banks and licensed money exchange booths often adjust spot prices based on transaction volumes, service surcharges, and localized cash availability. Financial institutions strongly advise retail clients and trading houses to confirm real-time quotes directly with authorized exchange outlets before committing to foreign currency transactions.
