Forex market stable, no devaluation pressure: BB

Bangladesh's foreign exchange market remains stable and
there is no instant pressure for devaluation, the Bangladesh Bank has
said.
In a statement, the central bank
said banks have enough dollar liquidity.
Strong reserve position
In the banking sector, foreign exchange reserves currently
stand at around $3.9 billion, according to the statement.
At the end of February 2026, this
figure was $2.3 billion, meaning reserves have increased by $1.6 billion within
a month.
Moreover, on 26 February, the gross
foreign exchange reserve was $47.6 billion, which rose to $48.8 billion by 6
April.
As a result, Bangladesh's foreign
exchange reserves, considering cash holdings and other sources, are playing a
supportive role in meeting daily import expenses and settling foreign
transactions, as per the statement.
At present, the country's total foreign exchange reserve stands at
approximately $34.35 billion, which serves as a strong safeguard for conducting
international trade.
Remittance inflow remains positive
The inflow of remittances remains
strong. In March 2026, remittances reached $3.75 billion, higher than any
previous month, according to the statement.
In the first 11 days of the current
month, remittances amounted to $1.6 billion, which is 30.4% higher than the
same period last year.
As a result, the increased supply
of foreign currency has played an important role in maintaining stability in
the market, as per the statement.
Import and foreign payment situation stable
Import costs and foreign debt
payments are proceeding in a regular and planned manner. In the past month,
$1.37 billion has been paid against import bills, the central bank statement
said.
Recently, government foreign debt
payments equivalent to approximately $180 million have also been completed.
Consequently, as of 6 April, the
country's foreign exchange reserves stand at approximately $34.35 billion.
There is no pressure on the value
of the dollar in the market, and the value of the dollar is being determined
through a normal market process, as per the statement.
