DHAKA, July 28, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh received US$2.524 billion in 
remittances from expatriate workers during the first 27 days of July, the 
opening month of the 2026-27 fiscal year, registering a 20.2 per cent year-
on-year growth.

Latest data released by the Bangladesh Bank showed that inward remittances 
reached US$2.524 billion during the period from July 1 to July 27, compared 
with US$2.099 billion received during the corresponding period of July last 
year.

On July 27 alone, expatriate Bangladeshis sent home US$87 million in 
remittances.

The robust inflow of remittances at the beginning of the fiscal year is 
expected to strengthen the country's foreign exchange reserves and provide 
continued support to the economy by boosting domestic consumption and 
external sector stability.
