Record remittance raises Bangladesh's reserve to $31.68bn

Foreign currency reserves of Bangladesh have crossed $31 billion mark at the end of June 2025 thanks to a record inflow of remittances this fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25).

The country's gross reserves have risen to $31.68 billion, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bank (BB) yesterday. 

The surge came after a significant increase in remittance inflows, which reached $30.33 billion in FY25-- the highest ever in any fiscal year in the country's history.

However, as per the International Monetary Fund (IMF) methodology under the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6), Bangladesh's net reserves currently stand at $26.66 billion.
