Bangladesh Foreign Exchange Rates Steady

Bangladesh’s foreign exchange market continues to reflect the combined influence of expanding international trade, remittance inflows, and shifting global economic conditions. As millions of Bangladeshis working abroad send earnings home, remittances remain a cornerstone of national economic stability, helping to support household consumption and foreign currency reserves.

On 9 April 2026, the latest official exchange rates for major global and regional currencies were released, providing a key benchmark for importers, exporters, banks, and remittance recipients. According to Bangladesh Bank data, the market has remained broadly stable, although minor fluctuations persist in line with global currency demand, inflation trends, and interest rate policies in advanced economies.

The US dollar, the most influential currency in international trade, was set at a buying rate of 122.70 Bangladeshi taka and a selling rate of 122.75 taka. The euro also remained relatively steady at 143.09 taka for buying and 143.17 taka for selling, indicating consistent demand in European-linked trade settlements.

The British pound sterling continued to command a higher value, reflecting its strength in global markets, with a buying rate of 164.31 taka and a selling rate of 164.43 taka. Among Asian currencies, the Japanese yen remained extremely low in value against the taka, while the Singapore dollar stood at 96.27 taka (buying) and 96.38 taka (selling).

In North America, the Canadian dollar was recorded at 88.60 taka for buying and 88.68 taka for selling. The Australian dollar also maintained a stable position at 86.41 taka and 86.48 taka respectively. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee remained fixed at 1.32 taka for both buying and selling, reflecting steady cross-border trade dynamics.

In the Middle East, the Saudi riyal—an especially important currency for migrant workers and pilgrims—was priced at 32.73 taka for buying and 32.50 taka for selling, underscoring its significance in remittance and labour market transactions.

Experts suggest that global oil price movements, inflationary pressures, and monetary tightening or easing by major central banks will continue to shape currency behaviour in the coming months. Despite these external pressures, the current outlook suggests a comparatively stable foreign exchange environment in Bangladesh.

Officials in the financial sector note that exchange rates are reviewed regularly in response to shifts in global financial markets and domestic demand for foreign currency. These adjustments play a direct role in shaping import costs, export competitiveness, and the overall flow of remittances into the country, making exchange rate stability a crucial factor for economic planning and business confidence.
