Foreign trade between Bangladesh and the global market continues to expand steadily, driving a growing volume of international transactions and increasing the importance of accurate foreign exchange information. For importers, exporters, remittance recipients, and financial planners alike, up-to-date knowledge of currency exchange rates against the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) is essential for informed decision-making and effective financial management.
On Thursday, 26 March 2026, the indicative exchange rates of various major foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka were recorded as follows. These rates reflect prevailing market trends and may vary across banks, exchange houses, and over the course of the day depending on global currency fluctuations.
| Foreign Currency | Rate in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) |
|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 123.15 |
| Euro (EUR) | 142.42 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 164.56 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 85.54 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.77 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 89.08 |
| Swedish Krona (SEK) | 13.16 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 96.00 |
| Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) | 17.84 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.31 |
| Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) | 2.53 |
| Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) | 30.85 |
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.83 |

The Bangladeshi foreign exchange market remains closely linked with global economic movements, including fluctuations in oil prices, inflation trends in major economies, and monetary policy decisions taken by leading central banks such as the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. As a result, exchange rates are inherently dynamic and subject to frequent changes.
Among the listed currencies, the US Dollar continues to serve as the primary benchmark for international trade settlements, while Gulf currencies such as the Saudi Riyal, Qatari Riyal, and Kuwaiti Dinar remain particularly significant due to Bangladesh’s strong remittance inflows from the Middle East. Similarly, European currencies like the Euro and British Pound reflect ongoing trade and labour migration links with European economies.
The Bangladeshi Taka’s relative stability against a range of Asian currencies, including the Indian Rupee, Chinese Yuan, and Singapore Dollar, continues to play an important role in facilitating regional trade. However, higher-value currencies such as the Kuwaiti Dinar and Omani Rial remain significantly stronger against the Taka, reflecting broader global purchasing power differences.
Financial experts advise that exchange rates should be treated as indicative rather than fixed values, as they may change multiple times within a single trading day depending on market demand and supply conditions. Businesses engaged in cross-border transactions are encouraged to monitor official banking channels and authorised exchange institutions for the most accurate and updated figures.
Overall, the foreign exchange landscape underscores Bangladesh’s deepening integration into the global economy, while highlighting the importance of currency awareness in both commercial and personal financial planning.
