Expatriates sent more than $1 billion in remittances to the country in the first 10 days of November.
According to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank, $1.109 billion came into the country from November 1-10.
During the same period last year, $820 million came. As a result, there was a 35.2 per cent growth in expatriate income in a year.
On November 10 alone, $135 million came into the country, which further strengthened the average daily income flow.
According to Bangladesh Bank data, since the beginning of the current FY26 (July 2025 to November 10), expatriates have sent a total of $11.258 billion to the country.
Remittances during the same period of the previous fiscal year were $9.758 billion.
This shows that remittance growth has stood at 15.4 percent so far in the current fiscal.
According to analysts, this rise in expatriate income is the result of increased incentives to send dollars through banking channels, suppression of hundi, and the positive impact of expanding employment in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia.
Bangladesh Bank says that if this trend of remittance flow continues in the remaining days of November, the income could exceed $2 billion by the end of the month.
