Bangladesh rakes in $3bn in April as remittance inflows extend strong streak amid global turmoil

Remittance inflows into Bangladesh have continued their strong upward trend despite ongoing global conflicts, with expatriates sending more than $3 billion for the fifth consecutive month.

In April alone, migrant workers remitted about $3.13 billion, up 13.62 percent from the same month a year earlier, according to updated Bangladesh Bank data released on Sunday.

The figure extends a rare streak of consistent monthly inflows above the $3 billion mark. In April last year, expatriates had sent $2.75 billion.

During the first 10 months of the ongoing 2025–26 fiscal year, total remittance reached $29.32 billion, marking a 19.54 percent increase from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

In the July–April period of FY2024–25, remittance inflows stood at $24.54 billion.
