DHAKA, Nov 02, 2025 (BSS) - Expatriate Bangladeshis sent US$2.56 billion remittances in October, which was around 7 percent higher than the corresponding month of the previous year.

The wage earners sent $2.39 billion remittance to the country in October of 2024.

Talking to BSS, industry insiders observed that Bangladesh has been witnessing a growing trend in remittance inflows since December of last year due to multiple factors.

The factors include a narrowing gap between official and informal exchange rates, a crackdown on money laundering, and a renewed sense of patriotism among expatriates following last year's political changeover, they mentioned.
