The Bangladeshi Taka maintained a steady footing against major international currencies on Saturday, 14 November 2026, according to the latest exchange rate figures released by Bangladesh Bank.
In the interbank and official foreign exchange market, the United States Dollar traded flat at Tk 124.75 for both buying and selling transactions. This stability comes amidst active central bank market management and sustained remittance inflows from expatriate workers, which rose by 27.1 per cent year-on-year during the first ten days of November to reach US$1.409 billion.
Among other leading Western currencies, the British Pound Sterling stood at Tk 165.66 for buying and Tk 165.70 for selling. Meanwhile, the Euro was quoted at Tk 138.34 on the buying side and Tk 138.36 on the selling side, reflecting narrow spreads across European benchmarks.
Regional and Asia-Pacific currencies also demonstrated minimal volatility during Saturday’s session. The Australian Dollar traded between Tk 85.40 and Tk 85.42, while the Singapore Dollar was priced at Tk 97.11 for buying and Tk 97.16 for selling. Closer to home, the Indian Rupee remained unchanged at Tk 1.33 for both buying and selling. Similarly, the Chinese Yuan stood steady at Tk 18.69, and the Japanese Yen was exchanged at Tk 0.78 across both sides of the counter.
Exchange rates in Bangladesh are closely monitored by importers, exporters, and commercial banks, as fluctuations directly influence the cost of essential imports, industrial raw materials, and international trade settlements. Earlier this month, the country settled US$1.64 billion in regional import bills through the Asian Clearing Union, placing heightened importance on steady foreign currency liquidity.
While Bangladesh Bank publishes reference rates to guide official transactions, retail customers and travellers should note that commercial banks and authorised money changers may apply slightly varied rates depending on transaction volumes, service charges, and local market demand. For expatriate wage earners and businesses settling cross-border obligations, tracking daily central bank benchmarks remains essential for planning financial transfers effectively.
