Bangladesh’s foreign exchange market continues to reflect the country’s expanding international trade network and its heavy reliance on remittance inflows from millions of citizens working abroad. These remittances remain a key pillar of the national economy, supporting household incomes and contributing significantly to foreign currency reserves. In this context, the latest exchange rates published for 23 April 2026 provide an important snapshot of the value of the Bangladeshi Taka against major global currencies.
According to data from Bangladesh Bank, the US dollar remains the most influential currency in the market. On Tuesday, the buying rate for the dollar was recorded at 122.70 Bangladeshi Taka, while the selling rate stood at 122.74 Taka. The average exchange rate was approximately 122.71 Taka per US dollar, indicating a relatively stable spread between buying and selling prices.
The euro also maintained a strong position, with a buying rate of 144.62 Taka and a selling rate of 144.72 Taka. Other major currencies, including the British pound and the Japanese yen, also reflected steady trading patterns in the domestic market.
Currency fluctuations remain subject to global financial conditions, import demand, export earnings, and remittance inflows. Although the rates listed provide an official reference, they are subject to minor variations in commercial bank transactions and market dynamics.
| Currency | Buying Rate (BDT) | Selling Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar | 122.70 | 122.74 |
| British Pound | 166.03 | 166.17 |
| Euro | 144.62 | 144.72 |
| Japanese Yen | 0.77 | 0.77 |
| Australian Dollar | 88.06 | 88.12 |
| Singapore Dollar | 96.59 | 96.68 |
| Canadian Dollar | 89.91 | 89.97 |
| Indian Rupee | 1.32 | 1.32 |
| Saudi Riyal | 32.77 | 32.79 |
The British pound continues to be one of the highest-valued currencies against the Taka, reflecting broader international currency strength. Regional currencies such as the Indian rupee and Saudi riyal remain relatively stable, reflecting consistent trade and labour migration links with Bangladesh.
The Japanese yen, while significantly lower in nominal value per unit, remains important due to trade and investment relations with East Asian economies. Similarly, currencies such as the Australian and Canadian dollars are closely tied to export labour markets and educational migration trends.
Overall, the exchange rate structure demonstrates a controlled and monitored foreign exchange environment, with Bangladesh Bank maintaining oversight to ensure stability. As global economic conditions evolve, these rates may adjust in response to inflation trends, interest rate changes, and external trade pressures.
