DHAKA, June 12, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh witnessed a strong growth in inward remittance during the

first 10 days of June as expatriate Bangladeshis continued to send higher amounts of money through

formal banking channels.

According to the latest data, the country received US$1,203.15 million in remittances during the

period from June 1 to June 10, 2026, compared to $956.19 million during the corresponding period of

June last year.

The inflow registered a significant 25.83 percent year-on-year growth, reflecting sustained

confidence among expatriate workers in the country's formal financial system.

On June 10 alone, remittance inflow amounted to $104.84 million, indicating steady momentum in

foreign currency earnings.

Banking sector experts said the continued rise in remittance inflow is playing a vital role in

easing pressure on the foreign exchange market and strengthening the country's external sector.

They said various policy supports, including cash incentives for remitters, simplified banking

services and stricter monitoring against illegal money transfer channels, contributed to the

encouraging growth trend.

Meanwhile, total remittance inflow during the current fiscal year from July 2025 to June 10, 2026

reached $33.96 billion, up from $28.46 billion during the same period of the previous fiscal year,

marking a 19.31 percent growth.
