Bangladesh received $1.57 billion in remittances during the first 18 days of October, marking a 3% year-on-year increase, according to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank.
This steady growth reflects strong performance in remittance inflows, which continue to bolster the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
Between July and October 18 of the current fiscal year (FY2025–26), Bangladeshi expatriates sent a total of $9.15 billion; up 13.6% from $8.05 billion during the same period last year.
