Dhaka: The country’s remittance inflow has crossed the US$3 billion milestone in April, reflecting sustained strong inflows from expatriate Bangladeshis, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bank (BB) today. During this period, remittance receipts reached $3,127 million, marking a 13.6 percent increase year-on-year compared to $2,752 million in the same period last year.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, on a cumulative basis, expatriate Bangladeshis sent $29,332 million in remittances from July to April of the current fiscal year. This figure is significantly higher than the $24,537 million recorded in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
The continued rise in remittance inflows is playing a vital role in supporting external sector stability, strengthening foreign exchange reserves, and contributing to overall macroeconomic resilience. This growth underscores the economic contributions of expatriate Bangladeshis, who remain a crucial component in the country’s financial landscape.
