Daily exchange rate movements play a pivotal role for expatriates sending remittances, importers funding shipments, exporters pricing goods, and individuals preparing for international travel or higher education abroad. Fluctuations in these benchmarks directly affect foreign trade dynamics and influence the cost of foreign currency transfers across the national economy.
Data released by Bangladesh Bank reflects updated purchasing and selling rates for major foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi taka. Across the latest figures, the US dollar is quoted at a buying rate of 123.50 taka and a selling rate of 123.30 taka. The British pound stands at a buying rate of 163.07 taka and a selling rate of 163.24 taka, whilst the euro trades at 138.05 taka for buying and 138.12 taka for selling.
Among regional and key trade-partner currencies, the Indian rupee holds an identical buying and selling rate of 1.27 taka. The Australian dollar is listed at 86.05 taka buying and 86.16 taka selling, while the Singapore dollar is priced at 96.21 taka and 96.30 taka respectively. Additionally, the Chinese yuan is pegged at 18.41 taka for purchases and 18.42 taka for sales, whereas the Japanese yen trades uniformly at 0.78 taka for both transactions.
Because Bangladesh relies heavily on imported energy, industrial raw materials, capital machinery, and essential consumer goods, dollar valuations carry widespread implications for domestic inflation and production overheads. Exporting businesses, particularly garment manufacturers, rely on transparent, predictable exchange structures to maintain order competitiveness in overseas markets. Clear currency benchmarking also encourages wage earners abroad to route earnings through official banking channels rather than informal transfer networks, bolstering foreign currency reserves.
Commercial banks and authorised money changers may apply minor operational variations based on transaction volume, service charges, or specific institutional policies. Market participants, traders, and individual consumers are advised to verify real-time operational rates directly with licensed banking entities before executing binding foreign exchange transactions.
