Bangladesh’s growing engagement with the global economy has made foreign currency exchange rates increasingly important for businesses, travellers, students and expatriates alike. As international trade continues to expand, fluctuations in the value of major global currencies directly influence import costs, export earnings, overseas education expenses and remittance transactions. For that reason, daily exchange rate updates remain closely monitored by both financial institutions and the wider business community.
According to information provided by Bangladesh Bank and commercial banks, the following are the indicative exchange rates for major foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka on 8 July 2026. Actual buying and selling rates may vary slightly from one bank or authorised exchange house to another.
| Currency | Exchange Rate (Bangladeshi Taka) |
|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | BDT 122.85 |
| Euro (EUR) | BDT 140.18 |
| British Pound Sterling (GBP) | BDT 164.02 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | BDT 86.50 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | BDT 85.11 |
| Chinese Yuan (CNY) | BDT 18.05 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | BDT 94.99 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | BDT 1.29 |
| Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) | BDT 30.33 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | BDT 33.12 |
| Qatari Riyal (QAR) | BDT 33.81 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) | BDT 398.56 |
| UAE Dirham (AED) | BDT 33.64 |
Market analysts say Bangladesh’s foreign exchange market has shown signs of greater stability in recent weeks. Strong oversight by the central bank, combined with a healthy inflow of workers’ remittances, has helped narrow the gap between official exchange rates and prices in the open market. This has provided some relief for importers, exporters and businesses that rely heavily on foreign currency transactions.
Over the past month, the average exchange rate of the US dollar has fluctuated within a relatively narrow range of BDT 122.75 to BDT 123.00. Such stability allows businesses to plan international payments with greater confidence and helps reduce uncertainty surrounding import costs.
Economists note that exchange rates are influenced by a variety of domestic and international factors, including global demand for major currencies, international trade flows, monetary policy decisions and market sentiment. As a result, currency values can change throughout the trading day, and rates quoted by individual banks may differ slightly depending on whether customers are buying or selling foreign currency.
Individuals planning overseas travel, international education, business transactions or remittance transfers are therefore advised to verify the latest rates with their respective banks or authorised foreign exchange dealers before completing any transaction, as exchange rates remain subject to change without prior notice.
