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.

Monthly remittance figures have remained robust in recent months, with $2.48 billion recorded in July, $2.42 billion in August and $2.68 billion in September.

In FY2024–25, Bangladesh saw a record high of $30.33 billion in remittance earnings, reflecting a significant 27% rise from $23.74 billion in FY2023–24.
