Remittance inflows into Bangladesh hit a historic high of US$ 35.56 billion in the immediate past fiscal year 2025-26, registering a robust double-digit growth driven by strong contributions from expatriates through formal channels.
According to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank, the total remittance receipts between July 2025 and June 30, 2026 stood at $35.56 billion. This marks a significant 17.3 percent growth compared to the $30.32 billion received in FY2024-25, also the previous highest remittance inflows in a financial year.
Central bank officials noted that on the final day of the fiscal year (June 30), the country pulled in $120 million in provisional remittance earnings. However, this single-day figure excludes data from 11 commercial banks due to the bank holiday.
Meanwhile, monthly remittance inflows for June 2026 stood at $2.80 billion, reflecting a minor 0.6 percent dip compared to the $2.82 billion recorded during the same month last year (June 2025).
Despite the marginal monthly decline in June, the overall annual trend remained extraordinarily strong throughout the fiscal year, providing a critical buffer to the country’s foreign exchange reserves and macroeconomic stability.
