Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves

Reserves drop to $19.7bn after ACU payment

Due to a growing trend in remittance inflows in recent months, the central bank has been able to mitigate the sharp decline in forex reserves, particularly since the end of the Awami League-led government's regime on August 5 in the face of mass uprising.

No let-up in reserves slide

Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves have been falling since September 2021 despite a series of government initiatives to reverse the trend.

Reserves may fall below $21b after ACU payment
