Bangladesh’s trade and commercial engagement with the global economy continues to expand steadily. Millions of Bangladeshi expatriates are employed across various countries, and the remittances they send back play a pivotal role in supporting the nation’s economic framework. These inflows of foreign currency have a direct impact on the country’s foreign exchange market, influencing both stability and liquidity.
In line with this, Bangladesh Bank released the latest foreign currency exchange rates on Sunday, 22 February 2026. Banks across the country routinely adjust buying and selling rates to maintain market stability, ensuring that both importers and exporters can conduct international transactions efficiently.
The data reflects minor fluctuations across major currencies, particularly those relevant to Bangladesh’s trade with Europe and Asia. Notably, the US dollar rate remains unchanged, signalling stability in one of the nation’s most widely used foreign currencies. Conversely, modest changes are observed in the euro, British pound, and selected Asian currencies.
The table below summarises the prevailing exchange rates in Bangladesh Taka (BDT):
| Currency | Buying Rate (BDT) | Selling Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.30 | 122.30 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 164.88 | 164.92 |
| Euro (EUR) | 144.06 | 145.10 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.80 | 0.80 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 86.62 | 86.63 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 96.49 | 96.58 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 89.36 | 89.41 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.34 | 1.35 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.58 | 32.50 |
The stability of the US dollar rate provides reassurance for businesses and expatriates planning transactions, while minor variations in the euro and pound reflect normal market adjustments. Asian currencies such as the Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Saudi riyal also exhibit subtle changes, demonstrating the dynamic nature of foreign exchange influenced by global demand and supply.
Foreign exchange rates have a direct bearing on international trade, remittances, and cross-border financial transactions. Business operators and expatriates closely monitor daily rate updates to optimise their financial planning. Furthermore, banks regularly recalibrate rates to safeguard the economy against inflationary pressures and maintain equilibrium in foreign currency reserves.
For informed expatriates and commercial traders, these updates are essential, allowing them to make timely decisions on remittances, imports, and exports while ensuring they benefit from the most accurate market rates.
