Bangladesh has received a record $3.75 billion in remittances in March, the highest for a single month in the country’s history, according to the latest data from the central bank.
The figures released by Bangladesh Bank on Thursday show a 13.98 percent year-on-year growth in expatriate income.
In March last year, the country received $3.29 billion, marking an increase of $460 million over the past 12 months.
Previously, the highest monthly inflow was recorded in March 2025.
Other significant peaks included $3.17 billion in January this year and $3.02 billion in February, representing a 19.46 percent growth.
The steady rise in remittance, coupled with reduced pressure from Ramadan-related import costs, has significantly bolstered the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
According to central bank data, gross reserves under the BPM6 manual stood at $29.81 billion on Thursday.
This includes an infusion of $515.8 million over the last four days alone.
