Foreign exchange rates in Bangladesh remained a key reference point for importers, exporters, remittance recipients, and financial institutions on Friday, 27 March 2026, as the country’s international trade and cross-border transactions continue to expand steadily. With growing engagement in global markets, the demand for up-to-date currency valuation against the Bangladeshi Taka has become increasingly significant for both businesses and individuals.
Exchange rate movements are influenced by multiple factors, including global inflation trends, interest rate policies of major economies, balance of payments conditions, and domestic demand for foreign currency. In such a dynamic environment, even minor fluctuations can have a noticeable impact on trade costs, overseas education expenses, and remittance inflows.
On the stated date, the foreign exchange market reflected the following indicative rates against the Bangladeshi Taka:
| Currency | Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.51 |
| Euro (EUR) | 141.40 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 163.49 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 84.56 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.77 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 88.42 |
| Swedish Krona (SEK) | 13.00 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 95.31 |
| Chinese Yuan (CNY) | 17.73 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.30 |
| Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) | 2.53 |
| Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) | 30.57 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.65 |
| Qatari Riyal (QAR) | 33.65 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) | 398.80 |
| Omani Rial (OMR) | 318.63 |
These indicative rates highlight the continued strength of several Gulf currencies against the Taka, reflecting their global oil-backed stability. The Kuwaiti Dinar and Omani Rial remain among the highest-valued currencies in relation to the Bangladeshi currency, while regional trading partners such as the Indian Rupee and Chinese Yuan continue to play a crucial role in day-to-day commercial exchanges.
Market analysts note that the US Dollar remains the dominant reference currency for international settlements, particularly in import payments and export earnings. Meanwhile, the Euro and British Pound continue to influence education-related expenses and European trade flows.
The Bangladeshi foreign exchange market remains sensitive to global economic shifts, including commodity price changes and central bank policy adjustments in major economies. As a result, exchange rates are subject to frequent revision throughout trading sessions.
Financial experts advise businesses and individuals engaged in foreign transactions to monitor rates closely, as currency volatility can significantly affect profit margins, import costs, and remittance values.
