Bangladesh Bank on Tuesday purchased US$38 million from six banks as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen and stabilize the foreign exchange market.

With this latest transaction, the central bank has acquired a total of $2.12 billion from various banks so far in the current fiscal year, FY2025-26.
