Daily currency exchange rates remain closely watched by more than 10 million Bangladeshis living abroad, as well as their families, businesses and others involved in international financial transactions. Remittances sent by expatriate Bangladeshis are a major source of foreign currency for the country, while exchange rates also influence imports, exports, overseas education, medical treatment, travel and cross-border payments.
According to the exchange rates provided for Sunday, 26 July 2026, one US dollar was valued at Tk 123.36. The euro stood at Tk 142.80, while the British pound was worth Tk 164.90 against the Bangladeshi taka. These rates offer an important reference for people sending or receiving money between Bangladesh and Europe or the United Kingdom, although the actual rate applied by banks and financial institutions may differ.
The Middle East remains particularly significant for Bangladesh because of the large number of Bangladeshi workers living and working across the region. On the stated date, one Saudi riyal was valued at Tk 32.89, while one United Arab Emirates dirham stood at Tk 33.70 and one Qatari riyal at Tk 34. One Omani rial was valued at Tk 320, a Bahraini dinar at Tk 328.60 and a Kuwaiti dinar at Tk 402.31.
For expatriate families, fluctuations in these currencies can directly affect the amount of taka received when overseas earnings are converted into local currency. Even a relatively small movement in the exchange rate can make a noticeable difference to the value of regular remittances, particularly for households that depend heavily on money sent from abroad.
Across Asia-Pacific markets, one Singapore dollar was quoted at Tk 96.39, while the Malaysian ringgit stood at Tk 30.22. The Indian rupee was valued at Tk 1.24 and the Japanese yen at Tk 0.755. One South Korean won was quoted at Tk 0.08388624. Meanwhile, the Australian dollar stood at Tk 86.40 and the New Zealand dollar at Tk 71.67.
The Canadian dollar was valued at Tk 87.55, while the Swiss franc stood at Tk 147.32. In Africa, the South African rand was quoted at Tk 7.33.

Currency movements have implications far beyond remittances. For importers, a rise in the value of major foreign currencies can increase the taka cost of overseas goods, machinery and raw materials. Depending on market conditions, higher import costs can eventually feed into domestic prices.
Exporters, meanwhile, monitor exchange rates because their overseas earnings are generally received in foreign currencies before being converted into taka. The prevailing rate at the time of conversion can therefore influence the domestic value of export proceeds.
Families paying for overseas education also face currency risk. Tuition fees, accommodation, living expenses and other costs may become more expensive in taka terms if the foreign currency strengthens. Similar considerations apply to patients travelling abroad for medical treatment, as well as to people paying for international travel, accommodation and other overseas services.
