DHAKA, June 8, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh continues to witness robust remittance inflows in the current fiscal year, with expatriate Bangladeshis sending over $33.63 billion during the period from July 2025 to June 7, 2026, marking an impressive 18.45 percent growth compared to the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

According to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank released today, remittance inflow reached $33.63 billion till June 7 of FY2025-26, up from $28.39 billion received during the same period of FY2024-25.

On June 7, 2026, expatriates sent $187.77 million through official banking channels, reflecting the continued contribution of overseas workers to the country's foreign exchange reserves.

During the first seven days of June, remittance inflow totaled $871.14 million.

Although this was lower than the $883.37 million received during the corresponding period last year, officials noted that the overall fiscal-year performance remains highly encouraging, driven by sustained growth in remittance transfers throughout the year.

Economists view the continued rise in remittance inflows as a positive development for the economy, helping strengthen foreign exchange reserves, support import payments, and bolster macroeconomic stability amid global economic uncertainties.

The latest figures reaffirm remittance's role as one of the country's key economic pillars, providing crucial support to millions of households and contributing significantly to Bangladesh's overall economic resilience.
