Bangladesh’s remittance inflow grew 9.6 percent year-on-year in the first 15 days of October, reaching $1.44 billion, according to the latest data from the Bangladesh Bank.

During the same period last year, remittances totaled $1.31 billion.

From July to October 15 of the current fiscal year (FY2025), Bangladeshi expatriates sent $9.02 billion, up from $7.85 billion during the corresponding period a year earlier.

The central bank attributed the steady growth to improved exchange rate management and the government’s continued incentives for remittance through formal channels, helping sustain foreign currency reserves.
