The role of foreign currencies in Bangladesh’s economic landscape has grown increasingly significant. Remittances sent home by millions of expatriate Bangladeshis serve as a robust engine driving the nation’s financial system. These inflows not only enhance liquidity but also stimulate local commerce, investment, and market activity, contributing to a dynamic economic environment. Recognising this, Bangladesh Bank regularly determines and publishes the official buying and selling rates of major foreign currencies to facilitate transparent and efficient transactions for both individuals and businesses.
As of 25 March 2026, the average exchange rates for key foreign currencies in Bangladesh are as follows. According to Bangladesh Bank, the US dollar is valued at BDT 122.75 for both buying and selling, showing minor fluctuation compared to the previous day. The euro’s buying rate stands at BDT 142.47, with a selling rate of BDT 142.48. The British pound is priced at BDT 164.59 for purchase and BDT 164.64 for sale. Other major currencies show the following rates:
| Currency | Buying Rate (BDT) | Selling Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.75 | 122.75 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 164.59 | 164.64 |
| Euro (EUR) | 142.47 | 142.48 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.77 | 0.77 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 86.09 | 86.02 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 96.01 | 96.07 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 89.18 | 89.19 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.30 | 1.30 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.59 | 32.60 |
Bangladesh Bank has emphasised that these rates are influenced by fluctuations in international markets, oil prices, the stability of the US dollar, and the volume of remittances sent by overseas Bangladeshis. Analysts suggest that the recent steadiness of the dollar, combined with slight variations in the euro and pound, could have a positive impact on the national economy.
Market experts advise traders and investors to plan their transactions and remittance strategies based on current exchange rates to minimise financial risks. Expatriate Bangladeshis can use this information to determine the most advantageous rates for sending money home, ensuring greater transparency and convenience in remittance processes.
By regularly providing these updates, Bangladesh Bank supports economic stability and facilitates the smooth functioning of international trade. Today’s snapshot of foreign currency rates reflects the dynamism of Bangladesh’s economy and its deepening engagement with global markets.
