Foreign exchange rates across Bangladesh remained stable today, providing predictable ground for international trade, student remittances, and migrant workers sending earnings home. Daily fluctuations in these rates directly influence import costs, export earnings, foreign travel budgets, and the overall volume of remittance inflows. To help non-resident workers, commercial traders, and individuals manage their finances effectively, Bangladesh Bank released the official exchange figures for Monday, 2 November 2026.
According to data issued by Bangladesh Bank, the US dollar traded at a balanced buying and selling rate of 124.30 Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) in the local interbank market. Stability in the greenback helps mitigate sudden cost inflation for domestic importers settling international trade obligations, whilst giving exporters a clear projection of their Taka-denominated revenues.
Major European currencies also reflected balanced liquidity across commercial financial institutions. The British pound sterling, widely used for commercial transactions and migrant remittances originating from Great Britain, posted a buying rate of 166.45 BDT alongside a selling rate of 166.48 BDT. Meanwhile, the European Union’s single currency, the Euro, registered at 138.69 BDT for purchases and 138.74 BDT for sales.
The financial wellbeing of millions of Bangladeshi families relies heavily on remittance flows from non-resident workers stationed abroad. Middle Eastern labor markets hold a prominent position in generating these foreign currency earnings. Data for the Saudi Riyal shows buying and selling rates standing identical at 32.94 BDT. When domestic exchange rates align favorably, expatriates secure higher returns on their hard-earned transfers, directly supporting local family expenses, healthcare, education, and household savings across the country.
Far Eastern and Commonwealth partner currencies demonstrated similarly steady valuations. The Japanese yen settled at 0.77 BDT for both buying and selling, while the Singapore dollar traded at 96.58 BDT for buying and 96.68 BDT for selling. The Australian dollar maintained rates between 87.38 BDT (buying) and 87.45 BDT (selling), and the Canadian dollar showed an even benchmark of 88.95 BDT for both ends of the transaction. Neighboring India’s currency, the Indian rupee, essential for medical tourism, routine travel, and cross-border consumer goods trading, recorded buying and selling rates of 1.30 BDT.
Currency valuations remain vulnerable to shifting global market dynamics, interbank demand, and national foreign exchange reserves. Actual transaction values may vary slightly depending on commercial bank service charges, transfer methods, and over-the-counter cash exchange margins. Financial institutions strongly advise customers to verify live rates with authorised banks or licensed exchange houses before finalizing substantial transfers.
