Bangladesh’s foreign exchange market continues to reflect steady daily movements as international trade, remittance inflows, and global currency fluctuations shape the value of the Bangladeshi Taka. With more than ten million Bangladeshi nationals living and working abroad, remittance remains a crucial pillar of the national economy. In addition, expanding import–export activities have further increased the importance of monitoring daily currency exchange rates for businesses, financial institutions, and individuals alike.
On Sunday, 21 June 2026, the following exchange rates for major international currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka were recorded. These rates are essential for remittance transfers, trade settlements, and foreign currency transactions conducted through authorised financial channels.
The US Dollar, which remains the most influential currency in global trade and remittances, was stable at 122.75 Taka for both buying and selling. The Euro and British Pound also maintained relatively firm positions, reflecting ongoing global market stability. Regional currencies such as the Indian Rupee and Chinese Yuan showed minimal fluctuation, indicating steady cross-border trade flows. Meanwhile, currencies from the Asia-Pacific region, including the Australian and Singapore Dollars, continued to hold moderate strength against the Taka.

Foreign exchange analysts note that such minor variations between buying and selling rates reflect standard banking margins and liquidity conditions in the domestic currency market. The relatively narrow spreads, particularly for major currencies like the US Dollar and Euro, suggest stable demand and supply conditions within authorised exchange channels.
Remittance inflows from the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia continue to play a vital role in supporting Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves. These inflows not only strengthen household incomes but also contribute significantly to national development financing and balance-of-payments stability.
Market observers further indicate that global inflation trends, central bank policies in major economies, and geopolitical developments will continue to influence exchange rate movements in the coming weeks. For individuals and businesses engaged in international transactions, regular monitoring of currency rates remains essential for effective financial planning and risk management.
