Bangladesh’s economy is deeply intertwined with international trade, imports and exports, and remittance inflows from expatriate workers. As financial transactions with multiple countries occur daily, foreign exchange rates fluctuate continuously. In particular, remittances sent by Bangladeshis working abroad play a crucial role in shaping the country’s foreign exchange market. For ordinary citizens, business owners, and importers alike, staying informed about the latest currency rates has become essential for sound financial planning.
On Sunday, 26 April 2026, the following exchange rates of various foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka have been recorded. These rates are subject to change at any time due to shifts in global market conditions, fluctuations in demand and supply, international economic developments, and geopolitical uncertainties.
Latest Foreign Exchange Rates (26 April 2026)
| Currency | Value in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) |
|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.75 |
| Euro (EUR) | 143.65 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 165.72 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.30 |
| Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) | 30.90 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 96.19 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.71 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) | 398.94 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 87.86 |
Among these currencies, the Kuwaiti Dinar remains one of the strongest in the global foreign exchange market, reflecting a significantly higher value against the Bangladeshi Taka. In contrast, the Indian Rupee is relatively close in value to the Taka, which continues to facilitate smoother cross-border trade and travel between the neighbouring countries.
Economists note that fluctuations in global oil prices, shifts in international political stability, and varying inflation rates across major economies directly influence currency valuation. The strength of the US Dollar, in particular, often sets the tone for broader foreign exchange movements, affecting both regional and global currencies.
At the same time, remittance inflows from overseas Bangladeshis serve as a stabilising factor for the domestic currency. A steady increase in remittances strengthens foreign exchange reserves, helping to support macroeconomic stability and reduce pressure on the Taka. Conversely, rising import costs—especially for fuel, machinery, and essential commodities—tend to increase demand for foreign currencies such as the US Dollar, placing downward pressure on the local currency.
Bangladesh Bank regularly monitors and manages the foreign exchange market to maintain stability. Through policy interventions and reserve management, it aims to balance currency demand while ensuring economic resilience. However, the inherently global nature of currency markets means that external shocks and international trends continue to influence domestic exchange rates.
Overall, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have a far-reaching impact, influencing everything from household expenses to large-scale commercial decisions. As such, access to updated and reliable currency information remains vital for effective financial planning and economic decision-making in Bangladesh.
