Bangladesh’s growing integration with the global economy continues to drive international trade, investment and cross-border financial transactions. As businesses, importers, exporters and overseas workers remain closely connected with international markets, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates play a crucial role in determining trade costs, remittance values and overall economic activity.
The value of the Bangladeshi Taka against major global currencies has experienced modest movements in recent weeks. According to information published by Bangladesh Bank and commercial banks, the following exchange rates were applicable on 7 July 2026.
| Currency | Exchange Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|
| US Dollar | 122.85 |
| Euro | 140.54 |
| Pound Sterling | 164.49 |
| Canadian Dollar | 86.47 |
| Australian Dollar | 85.40 |
| Chinese Yuan | 18.08 |
| Singapore Dollar | 95.04 |
| Indian Rupee | 1.28 |
| Malaysian Ringgit | 30.20 |
| Saudi Riyal | 32.75 |
| Qatari Riyal | 33.71 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar | 397.14 |
| UAE Dirham | 33.50 |
The US dollar remains the most closely watched foreign currency in Bangladesh due to its dominant role in international trade, imports, exports and foreign exchange reserves. Businesses involved in overseas transactions routinely monitor movements in the dollar exchange rate, as even small fluctuations can affect import costs, pricing and financial planning.
Among the listed currencies, the Kuwaiti Dinar continues to command the highest exchange value against the Bangladeshi Taka at BDT 397.14, while the Indian Rupee remains the lowest at BDT 1.28. Other widely traded currencies, including the Euro, Pound Sterling, Singapore Dollar and Saudi Riyal, also remain important for trade, travel, remittances and investment.
Financial sector analysts say the gap between official exchange rates and those available in the open market has narrowed considerably in recent weeks. They attribute this improvement to tighter monitoring by Bangladesh Bank, stronger regulatory oversight and a steady inflow of remittances from Bangladeshis working abroad.
Over the past month, the average exchange rate for the US dollar has fluctuated between BDT 122.75 and BDT 123.00. This relatively stable range has provided a degree of certainty for importers, exporters and businesses that depend on foreign currency transactions, helping them manage costs and plan commercial activities more effectively.
Exchange rates are subject to change throughout the trading day depending on market conditions, banking transactions and international currency movements. Individuals and businesses are therefore advised to confirm the latest rates with their respective banks or authorised financial institutions before conducting any foreign exchange transaction.
