Bangladesh received US$35.21 billion in remittances during the period from July 2025 to June 27, 2026, marking a 17.3 percent increase compared with US$30.01 billion received during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
According to the latest data, expatriate Bangladeshis sent US$140 million in remittances between June 25 and June 27.
During the first 27 days of June 2026, remittance inflows stood at US$2.452 billion, compared with US$2.499 billion during the same period in June 2025, reflecting a 1.9 percent year-on-year decline for the month up to June 27.
Despite the slight decrease in June, overall remittance inflows remained robust throughout FY2025-26, supported by strong contributions from
Bangladeshi workers abroad, resulting in double-digit growth over the previous fiscal year.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves stood at $36.31 billion, according to the latest data released by the Bangladesh Bank (BB) today.
The central bank said that under the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM-6)
accounting standard, the country's reserves were recorded at US$31.74 billion.
Officials noted that the reserve position reflects the country's external sector stability amidst ongoing global economic uncertainties.
