Remittance Inflow Jumps 25.83% in Early June

Bangladesh recorded a strong rise in inward remittances during the first 10 days of June, as expatriate workers continued sending higher amounts of money through formal banking channels.

According to the latest data, remittance inflows reached US$1.203 billion between June 1 and June 10, 2026, up from $956.19 million during the same period last year.

The inflow marked a year-on-year growth of 25.83 percent, reflecting continued confidence among expatriate Bangladeshis in official money transfer systems.

On June 10 alone, the country received $104.84 million in remittances, maintaining steady momentum in foreign currency earnings.

Banking sector experts said the sustained rise in remittance inflows is helping ease pressure on the foreign exchange market and strengthening the country’s external financial position.

They attributed the positive trend to a range of policy measures, including cash incentives for remitters, easier banking services and stricter monitoring to curb illegal money transfer channels.

Meanwhile, total remittance inflows during the current fiscal year, from July 2025 to June 10, 2026, reached $33.96 billion, compared with $28.46 billion during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The figure represents a 19.31 percent increase year-on-year, underscoring the growing contribution of overseas Bangladeshis to the national economy.
