DHAKA, July 13, 2026 (BSS) – Bangladesh received US$1.325 billion in workers’ remittances during the first 12 days of July, marking a 23.8 percent year-on-year growth compared to the same period last year, according to the latest Bangladesh Bank data.
The country received $171 million in remittances on July 12 alone.
During the period from July 1 to July 12, 2026, total remittance inflow reached US$1.325 billion, up from US$1.071 billion received during the corresponding period of July 1-12, 2025.
The continued rise in remittance inflows is expected to provide support to the country’s foreign exchange reserves, strengthen external sector stability, and help meet growing import payment requirements.
Bangladesh Bank has been taking various initiatives to encourage expatriate Bangladeshis to send their earnings through formal banking channels, contributing to the sustained growth in remittance inflows.
