The Bangladesh Taka remained broadly stable against the US dollar on Wednesday, August 14, 2025, with the inter-bank weighted average rate quoted at Tk 121.48. While Bangladesh Bank’s official reference rates showed limited movement, some state-owned and private commercial banks quoted slightly higher buying and selling rates for the greenback, euro, and pound sterling, reflecting modest variations in market liquidity.
According to Bangladesh Bank’s official data, the inter-bank weighted average rate (WAR) for the US dollar stood at Tk 121.48, with spot market reference rates fluctuating between Tk 121.65 in the morning session and Tk 121.59 in the evening. The central bank’s cross-currency reference indicated the euro trading in the range of Tk 142.15–142.28 and the pound sterling at Tk 164.87–164.98.
Among the commercial banks, Janata Bank quoted the dollar at Tk 122.00 for buying and Tk 123.00 for selling. The bank’s posted rates for the euro ranged between Tk 136.00 and Tk 140.00, while the pound was quoted between Tk 156.00 and Tk 162.00.

Sonali Bank, meanwhile, posted a benchmark reference of Tk 121.50 per dollar, broadly in line with the central bank’s WAR, though slightly lower than the commercial market quotations.
Currency dealers noted that while inter-bank rates remain steady, retail and corporate demand is driving minor variations across banks. Analysts added that Bangladesh Bank’s continued interventions and regulatory oversight are helping to maintain relative stability in the foreign exchange market, despite underlying pressure from import payments and external debt servicing.
