With more than 10 million Bangladeshis living and working overseas, foreign exchange rates remain a key area of interest for millions of families, businesses and financial institutions. Alongside the steady growth of international trade, overseas employment and cross-border remittances, fluctuations in currency values directly influence household income, import costs, travel expenses and commercial transactions.
For expatriate Bangladeshis, the daily exchange rate determines the value of remittances sent home, making it an important indicator for families that rely on overseas earnings. Importers, exporters, travellers and students studying abroad also closely monitor currency movements to plan their financial decisions. As exchange rates are influenced by international market conditions, global demand and supply, and banking transactions, they may vary throughout the day.
The following exchange rates against the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) were recorded on Sunday, 5 July 2026.

Market participants should be aware that exchange rates are subject to change without prior notice. Banks, authorised money changers and financial institutions may also quote slightly different buying and selling rates depending on market conditions, operational costs and transaction volumes. Anyone planning to remit funds, exchange currency or conduct international business is therefore advised to confirm the latest applicable rate with their respective financial institution before completing a transaction.
