The continued expansion of Bangladesh’s international trade relations, coupled with the steady inflow of remittances from millions of Bangladeshis working abroad, plays a pivotal role in sustaining the country’s economic stability. As a result, up-to-date information on foreign exchange rates has become increasingly important for businesses, importers, expatriates, and the general public alike.
On Sunday, 26 April 2026, the latest indicative exchange rates of major global and regional currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka reflect ongoing fluctuations in the international currency markets. These movements are influenced by a range of factors, including global inflation trends, central bank policies, geopolitical developments, and shifts in demand for reserve currencies.
Below is a summary of the prevailing exchange rates:
| Currency |
Rate in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) |
| US Dollar (USD) |
122.75 |
| Euro (EUR) |
143.65 |
| British Pound (GBP) |
165.72 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) |
1.30 |
| Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) |
30.90 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) |
96.19 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) |
32.71 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) |
398.94 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) |
87.86 |
Among the listed currencies, the Kuwaiti Dinar remains the strongest against the Bangladeshi Taka, reflecting Kuwait’s high-value currency structure driven by its oil-based economy. At the other end of the spectrum, the Indian Rupee maintains a relatively low exchange value due to regional economic parity and trade dynamics between Bangladesh and India.
The US Dollar continues to serve as the dominant reference currency in international trade and remittance transactions. Its stability makes it a key benchmark for import-export pricing and foreign investment calculations. Meanwhile, the Euro and British Pound remain significant for European trade corridors, education-related expenses, and expatriate earnings.
Currencies from the Gulf region, particularly the Saudi Riyal and Kuwaiti Dinar, are especially relevant for Bangladesh due to the large number of migrant workers employed in Middle Eastern countries. Remittances from these regions form a substantial portion of Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves.
It is important to note that these exchange rates are not fixed and may vary throughout the day depending on market demand, banking transactions, and global economic conditions. Commercial banks and exchange houses may also apply slightly different buying and selling rates based on operational margins.
Financial analysts advise individuals and businesses engaged in foreign transactions to regularly monitor official banking updates, as even minor fluctuations can have a significant impact on large-scale trade and remittance transfers.
