Remittances to Bangladesh rise 17% in early September

Bangladesh has seen a strong rise in remittance inflows, with a 17 percent year-on-year growth recorded during the first 24 days of September, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bank today.

During this period, remittances reached US$2,234 million, up from $1,909 million in the same timeframe last year.

The upward trend is also evident in the cumulative figures for the current fiscal year. From July to September 24, 2025, total remittances stood at $7,134 million — a significant increase from $6,045 million recorded during the same period in the previous fiscal year.

The continued rise in remittances provides a welcome boost to Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves and economic stability, especially as the country navigates global economic challenges.
