Bangladesh’s commercial and economic ties with the global market continue to expand steadily. Millions of Bangladeshi expatriates work across the world, sending remittances that play a pivotal role in bolstering the national economy. The inflow of foreign currency from these expatriates directly influences the country’s currency market, affecting both domestic liquidity and international trade.
In this context, on 22 February 2026, the Bangladesh Bank released the latest foreign exchange rates, detailing the buying and selling rates for various international currencies. Banks in Bangladesh regularly adjust these rates to maintain stability in the foreign exchange market, ensuring smooth business operations and remittance flows.
Today’s data highlights minor fluctuations in major currencies such as the US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound, alongside subtle movements in several Asian currencies. Such updates are crucial for both business communities and expatriates, as they directly impact remittances, import-export transactions, and foreign investment decisions.
