DHAKA, July 27, 2026 (BSS) – Bangladesh received US$2.437 billion in workers' remittances during the first 26 days of July, registering a 26.1 percent year-on-year growth, according to the latest data released by Bangladesh Bank.

The country had received US$1.933 billion in remittances during the corresponding period of July last year.

Expatriate Bangladeshis sent home US$138 million on July 26 alone, reflecting the continued strong pace of inward remittance flows.

The sustained growth in remittance earnings is expected to strengthen the country's foreign exchange reserves, support external sector stability, and help meet the rising demand for foreign currency to finance imports.

Remittance has remained one of Bangladesh's key sources of foreign exchange, alongside export earnings, playing a vital role in supporting the national economy and household consumption.
