The central bank report shows that November’s remittance inflow increased by $690 million, or 31 percent, compared to the same month last year, when expatriates sent $2.2 billion.
Bangladesh Bank officials attributed the rise to the government’s initiatives to curb hundi, attractive remittance incentives, and improvements in the banking channel, all of which have contributed to stabilizing the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
Consistent Growth in Current Fiscal Year
As per Bangladesh Bank data, monthly remittance inflows in the ongoing 2025–26 fiscal year were: July: $247.78 million, August: $242.19 million, September: $268.58 million, October: $256.35 million.
In the first five months of the fiscal year (July–November), expatriates sent home a total of $13.03 billion, equivalent to around Tk 160,000 crore.
Bangladesh also saw record remittances in the 2024–25 fiscal year, receiving $30.33 billion, which is 27 percent higher than the previous fiscal year’s $23.74 billion.
Experts say the consistent increase in remittance earnings is helping stabilize the overall economy, especially by easing pressure on the dollar supply and improving foreign transactions.
The strong upward trend signals growing confidence among expatriates in formal banking channels and the effectiveness of government policies aimed at boosting remittance inflow.
