Bangladesh has experienced remarkable growth in remittance inflows, with a 46.2% increase in the first 12 days of August 2025 compared to the same period last year.
According to Bangladesh Bank data, the country received $1,054 million in remittances between August 1-12, 2025, up from $721 million during the same period in August 2024.
In the 2025-26 fiscal year, from July 1, 2025, to August 12, 2025, the total remittance inflow reached $3,532 million, reflecting a 34.0% increase compared to $2,635 million received during the same period in the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Last year, Bangladesh faced significant political instability following the mass uprising in July and early August. However, after the political change, the country recorded its highest-ever remittance inflow, exceeding $30 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year, which was nearly 27% higher than the previous year.
This surge in remittances marks a positive trend, underscoring the resilience of the remittance sector and highlighting the continued financial support from Bangladeshis abroad. The significant rise is expected to contribute positively to the country’s foreign exchange reserves and overall economic stability.
