Remittance Surge: Over $1 Billion Received in First 10 Days of the Year

Arif Hossain Khan, spokesperson for Bangladesh Bank, shared the update on Sunday (January 11). He highlighted that this represents a significant year-on-year increase compared to the $717 million received during the same timeframe last year.

The statistics reveal that for the current 2025-26 fiscal year (from July to January 10), total remittances have reached $17.39 billion, marking a 20% growth compared to the previous year. This trend follows a blockbuster December, which saw $3.22 billion in earnings—the second-highest monthly remittance in the nation's history. This follows the record-breaking $30.32 billion collected in the 2024-25 fiscal year, signaling sustained growth in the country's foreign exchange reserves.
