Bangladesh’s foreign exchange market continues to reflect the country’s expanding global trade ties and the steady inflow of remittances from millions of expatriate workers. These remittances remain a crucial pillar of the national economy, helping to stabilise foreign currency reserves and support domestic consumption. In this context, access to up-to-date exchange rates is essential for businesses, importers, travellers, and expatriates alike.
On Tuesday, 28 April 2026, updated buying and selling rates of major international currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka were recorded in the local market. The rates indicate moderate fluctuations across several currencies, influenced by global market trends, inflation expectations, and demand for foreign exchange in domestic trade and remittance settlements.
| Currency | Buying (BDT) | Selling (BDT) |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.25 | 123.25 |
| Euro (EUR) | 141.35 | 146.22 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 163.53 | 168.66 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.76 | 0.78 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 95.49 | 97.09 |
| UAE Dirham (AED) | 33.28 | 33.57 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 87.18 | 89.17 |
| Swiss Franc (CHF) | 153.93 | 158.07 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.58 | 32.88 |
| Chinese Yuan (CNY) | 17.80 | 18.16 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.29 | 1.31 |
The US dollar, which serves as the benchmark currency for international trade, remains above the 122 Taka mark on the buying side, reflecting sustained import demand and global dollar strength. Similarly, the British Pound and Swiss Franc continue to show relatively higher values against the Taka, consistent with their strong positions in global financial markets.
The Euro also maintains a comparatively high exchange rate, influenced by ongoing economic conditions within the Eurozone. In contrast, regional currencies such as the Indian Rupee and Chinese Yuan remain relatively lower in value against the Bangladeshi currency, reflecting trade balance dynamics within Asia.
Financial analysts note that exchange rates in Bangladesh are highly responsive to external market forces, including fluctuations in global oil prices, interest rate policies of major central banks, and domestic demand for imports. As a result, currency values may change frequently throughout the trading day.
Authorities and financial institutions advise individuals and businesses engaged in foreign transactions to monitor updated rates regularly, as even minor shifts can significantly impact remittance receipts, import costs, and overseas payments.
