As Bangladesh’s international trade and commerce continue to expand, knowledge of the exchange rate between the Bangladeshi Taka and major foreign currencies has become increasingly vital for businesses. Accurate exchange rate information is essential not only for import and export operations but also for tourism, foreign investment, and cross-border financial transactions.
On Monday, 2 March 2026, the Bangladesh Bank and other authorised sources reported the official exchange rates of the Bangladeshi Taka against several major and regional foreign currencies as follows:

Exchange rates fluctuate daily depending on market demand, international currency trends, and the monetary policies of the Bangladesh Bank. For instance, over the past month, the US Dollar has appreciated by 1.50 BDT, influencing import costs, while the Euro has marginally strengthened above 144 BDT. These variations can significantly impact trade, tourism, and investment sectors.
Financial experts emphasise that businesses should always verify the latest rates from official sources before conducting transactions. Regular consultation of updates from both government and commercial banks ensures accuracy and minimises financial risk.
By maintaining awareness of current exchange rates, Bangladeshi companies and investors can make informed decisions, optimise international transactions, and mitigate exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
