Bangladesh’s economic engagement with the world continues to expand, driven in part by trade and business with various countries and a large expatriate population. Remittances sent by Bangladeshis living abroad play a crucial role in keeping the national economy active, providing liquidity and supporting local businesses. To facilitate overseas transactions, today’s (3 March 2026) currency exchange rates are presented below.
According to the latest figures from Bangladesh Bank, the rate for buying the US dollar in the domestic market stands at 122.30 taka, while the selling rate is 122.33 taka. The average exchange rate for the dollar is approximately 122.31 taka. The euro is quoted at 142.96 taka for both buying and selling.
It is important to note that currency rates fluctuate throughout the day, influenced by market demand, international trade flows, and global economic conditions. Individuals and businesses engaged in foreign exchange are advised to check with authorised dealers or banks for the latest rates before making transactions.
| Currency | Buying Rate (BDT) | Selling Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.30 | 122.33 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 163.98 | 164.02 |
| Euro (EUR) | 142.96 | 142.96 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.80 | 0.80 |

Foreign exchange rates are a vital indicator for importers, exporters, and expatriates sending money home. They also affect the cost of goods and services in the local economy. For instance, a slight increase in the US dollar rate can influence the price of imported machinery, electronics, or raw materials, while a stronger taka benefits domestic consumers purchasing overseas products.
Bangladesh Bank continuously monitors currency market trends to maintain stability and ensure a fair and transparent exchange system. Market participants are reminded that rates may vary slightly between banks and authorised money changers.
As global trade grows and the Bangladeshi diaspora continues to contribute to the economy, staying informed of daily currency rates remains essential for both individuals and businesses engaging in cross-border financial transactions.
