Today’s foreign currency exchange rates

On Sunday, 28 December, Bangladesh’s leading banks published the exchange rates of various foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). Influenced by fluctuations in the international currency markets and a prevailing dollar shortage, the rates of major currencies such as the US Dollar, British Pound, and Euro have experienced notable increases.
