In July, expatriates sent $2.48 billion in remittances, August $2.42 billion, September $2.68 billion, October $2.56 billion.

Since the change in government, remittances through banking channels have exceeded $2 billion every month. With supply exceeding demand, the dollar rate has also fallen. For this reason, the Bangladesh Bank began purchasing dollars from commercial banks through auctions in different phases starting in July this year.
