Bangladesh’s growing engagement in global trade and expanding international transactions have made foreign exchange rates increasingly significant for businesses, travellers, and remittance recipients alike. As cross-border commerce continues to deepen, the demand for up-to-date currency conversion information against the Bangladeshi Taka has become essential for financial planning and decision-making.
On Sunday, 29 March 2026, the latest indicative exchange rates between the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) and several major global and regional currencies were recorded as follows. These figures reflect prevailing market conditions and may vary slightly depending on banks, exchange houses, and transaction types.
| Foreign Currency | Exchange Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | 122.75 |
| Euro (EUR) | 141.30 |
| British Pound (GBP) | 162.80 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | 84.40 |
| Japanese Yen (JPY) | 0.76 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | 88.36 |
| Swedish Krona (SEK) | 12.97 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | 95.26 |
| Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) | 17.74 |
| Indian Rupee (INR) | 1.29 |
| Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) | 2.56 |
According to Bangladesh Bank data, these rates serve as a benchmark for official and commercial foreign exchange activities. The US Dollar remains the most influential currency in Bangladesh’s import-export sector, while the Euro and British Pound continue to play a key role in European trade and remittance inflows.
The Middle East remains a vital region for Bangladeshi expatriate workers, making Gulf currencies particularly important for remittance conversion:
| Currency | Exchange Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|
| Saudi Riyal (SAR) | 32.71 |
| Qatari Riyal (QAR) | 33.59 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) | 397.92 |
| Omani Rial (OMR) | 318.67 |
| Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) | 30.58 |
These currencies are especially relevant due to the large Bangladeshi workforce employed in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait, whose remittances form a significant portion of the national foreign exchange inflow.
Financial experts note that exchange rates fluctuate continuously due to global economic conditions, inflation trends, interest rate changes, and geopolitical developments. As a result, the value of the Bangladeshi Taka against foreign currencies may shift even within the same day.
Consumers, businesses, and overseas workers are therefore advised to verify updated rates before conducting any financial transactions. Banks and authorised exchange houses generally apply slightly different buying and selling rates, depending on service charges and market demand.
In conclusion, while the above rates provide a useful snapshot of the foreign exchange market on 29 March 2026, they remain subject to change at any time in response to global financial dynamics.
