Bangladeshi expatriates have sent inward US$2.36 billion in remittances in the first 30 days of July, the first month of the current fiscal year 2025-26.
Arif Hossain Khan, Executive Director and Spokesperson for the Bangladesh Bank, confirmed these figures Thursday.
According to central bank data, the expatriates were sent $1.79 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year (FY2024-25). It means inward remittance flow has grown by $574 million or by 32 percent in 30 days of July. Last year during this period, expatriate workers were observing a so-called 'remittance strike'.
On 30 July, the expatriates sent $92 million remittance in a single day.
The expatriates sent $30.32 billion remittance in FY2024-25, which is the highest ever, reports UNB.
