Bangladesh's remittance inflows crossed the US $35.34 billion mark in the concluding fiscal year (FY26), registering a robust double-digit annual growth, according to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank.

The data, released by the central bank's Foreign Exchange Policy Department, showed that expatriate Bangladeshis sent $35.34 billion between July 2025 and June 28, 2026.

This represents a significant 17.6 per cent increase compared to the $30.04 billion recorded during the same period in the previous fiscal year, FY25.

In the first 28 days of June 2026 alone, the country received $2.58 billion in remittances, marking a 1.8 per cent monthly growth compared to $2.54 billion during the corresponding period in June 2025.

On June 28, 2026, a single-day inflow of $133 million was registered, as per a UNB report.

Central bank officials attributed this sustained growth to the streamlined banking channels, stable exchange rates, and increased compliance measures that incentivised non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) to channel their earnings through formal networks.

Besides, Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserve position has shown a resilient outlook.

As of June 28, 2026, the gross foreign forex reserves stood at $36.31 billion.

Meanwhile, calculated under the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Balance of Payments Manual 6th Edition (BPM6) guideline, the country's net international reserves stood at $31.73 billion.
