Dhaka, Sept 1 (V7N) – Workers' remittance inflow into Bangladesh reached US$5.938 billion during July–September 1, 2026, registering an 18.9 percent year-on-year growth compared to US$4.991 billion during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
According to the latest data, expatriate Bangladeshis sent US$112 million in remittances on September 1, 2026, compared to US$91 million on the same day in 2025.
The latest figures show a continued positive trend in remittance inflows at the beginning of the current fiscal year (FY2026-27), contributing to strengthening the country's foreign exchange position.
In July–September 1, 2025, the country received US$4.991 billion in workers' remittances. The inflow increased by US$947 million to US$5.938 billion during the corresponding period of FY2026-27.
Strong remittance growth comes as Bangladesh's economy shows signs of recovery, with the Purchasing Managers' Index rising to 57.8 in July—the highest level in 15 months—and export earnings reaching US$3.86 billion in the same month. The government has also introduced a 2.5 percent incentive on remittances to encourage sending money through banking channels, which has contributed to the growth.
Bangladesh's total remittance inflow was US$23.87 billion in FY26 and exceeded US$25 billion in FY25. The Bangladesh Bank expects remittances to rise to US$33 billion by 2028, supported by the growing number of migrant workers and government incentives.
