Bangladesh received $2.79 billion in remittances during the first 25 days of February 2026, equivalent to about Tk 34,062 crore at an exchange rate of Tk 122 per dollar. On February 25 alone, expatriates sent Tk 1,317 crore. The figures were released by Bangladesh Bank spokesperson Arif Hossain Khan on February 26.

According to the central bank, remittance inflows during the same period last year totaled $2.28 billion, marking a 22.4 percent increase this year. From July 1, 2025, to February 25, 2026, total remittances reached $22.22 billion, compared with $18.24 billion during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

The data indicate a steady rise in remittance inflows, reflecting stronger contributions from Bangladeshi expatriates and potentially supporting the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
