Foreign exchange reserves increased

The country's actual foreign exchange reserves (according to BPM 6) have increased to 20.46 billion US dollar.

A record amount of remittances from expatriates arrived in the country in March, which increased the reserves.

Bangladesh Bank confirmed the data on Sunday (April 6).

According to the Central Bank, the country's gross foreign exchange reserves are over $25.62 billion.

The surge came after a significant increase in remittance inflows, which reached $3.29 billion in March, the highest for any month in the country’s history.

Before the Eid-ul-Fitr, the gross reserve was 25.50 billion US dollar.
