Bangladesh’s foreign exchange market continues to reflect the pressures and opportunities of an increasingly interconnected global economy. With international trade expanding steadily, alongside rising import–export activity and sustained remittance inflows, the country’s currency market is witnessing regular but contained fluctuations.
According to data from Bangladesh Bank and commercial banking channels, the average exchange rates of major foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka on 28 June 2026 indicate a broadly stable trend. While minor variations persist across currencies, the overall movement suggests a controlled market environment rather than abrupt volatility.
The US Dollar, which plays a central role in global trade and domestic import settlements, remains relatively steady with limited movement in recent weeks. Similar patterns are observed across other major currencies, reflecting cautious market sentiment and ongoing regulatory oversight.
Economic observers note that tighter monitoring by the central bank, combined with comparatively healthy remittance inflows, has contributed to maintaining balance in the foreign exchange system. Although external economic pressures remain, the domestic currency has not experienced any significant shocks recently.
For import-dependent sectors such as energy, industrial raw materials, and essential commodities, this stability has provided partial relief in managing costs. However, experts caution that global market disruptions, particularly in energy pricing or international supply chains, could quickly transmit pressure to the local currency market.
Below is the average exchange rate of selected foreign currencies against the Bangladeshi Taka as recorded on 28 June 2026:
| Currency | Bangladeshi Taka |
|---|---|
| US Dollar | 122.75 |
| Euro | 139.72 |
| British Pound | 162.04 |
| Canadian Dollar | 86.47 |
| Australian Dollar | 84.66 |
| Chinese Yen | 18.03 |
| Singapore Dollar | 94.78 |
| Indian Rupee | 1.30 |
| Malaysian Ringgit | 30.09 |
| Saudi Riyal | 32.88 |
| Qatari Riyal | 33.75 |
| Kuwaiti Dinar | 397.21 |
| UAE Dirham | 33.50 |
The data highlights the relatively stronger valuation of Gulf currencies such as the Kuwaiti Dinar, which continues to stand significantly higher against the Taka compared with other foreign currencies. Meanwhile, regional currencies such as the Indian Rupee remain at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of exchange value.
Remittance-dependent households also remain closely tied to these movements. For many families, even slight changes in the dollar exchange rate can influence monthly income levels and spending patterns. A stable currency environment therefore offers a measure of predictability in household budgeting and financial planning.
Despite this stability, market participants acknowledge that the foreign exchange landscape remains sensitive. Shifts in global inflation, changes in interest rate policies by major economies, or fluctuations in commodity prices could all influence future currency movements in Bangladesh.
At present, the foreign exchange market continues to operate within a controlled range, shaped by regulatory oversight, external inflows, and global economic conditions. The coming months are expected to remain closely linked to international developments, which will ultimately determine the direction of currency trends in the country.
