Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves stood at US$36.46 billion (gross), according to the latest data released by Bangladesh Bank (BB) today.
The country's gross foreign exchange reserves reached US$36.46 billion, while reserves calculated under the IMF's BPM6 methodology stood at US$31.75 billion.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh received US$2.524 billion in remittances from expatriate workers during the first 27 days of July, the opening month of the 2026-27 fiscal year, registering a 20.2 per cent year-on-year growth.
Latest data released by the Bangladesh Bank showed that inward remittances reached US$2.524 billion during the period from July 1 to July 27, compared with US$2.099 billion received during the corresponding period of July last year.
On July 27 alone, expatriate Bangladeshis sent home US$87 million in remittances.
The robust inflow of remittances at the beginning of the fiscal year is expected to strengthen the country's foreign exchange reserves and provide continued support to the economy by boosting domestic consumption and external sector stability.
