Remittance surge: Bangladesh receives $1.52bn in eleven days
Expatriates sent 1.52 billion dollars in remittances to Bangladesh during the first 11 days of November, marking a 23.9 percent increase compared to last year.
Expatriate Bangladeshis sent 1.524 billion dollars in remittances during the first 11 days of November, according to data released by Bangladesh Bank on Thursday. The figure represents a 23.9 percent increase compared to the 1.231 billion dollars received during the corresponding period last year.
Central bank statistics show that on 11 November alone, expatriates transferred 116 million dollars into the country. The steady influx reflects growing reliance on official banking channels among expatriates living in the United Kingdom, the Middle East and elsewhere, providing vital support to national foreign exchange reserves.
Between July and 11 November of the current 2026-27 financial year, total remittance inflows reached 12.989 billion dollars. This marks a 14.2 percent rise from the 11.38 billion dollars recorded during the same period of the previous fiscal year.
