UNB:
In a remarkable display of ongoing financial support from Bangladesh’s expatriates, the country has received $2.27 billion in remittances within just the first 26 days of April 2025.
The flow of remittances continues strong even after the Eid celebrations, underscoring the crucial role of overseas workers in sustaining the nation’s economy.
Before Eid, expatriates had already sent a record-breaking $3.29 billion in remittances, reflecting both the festive season’s influence and the increasing trend of Bangladeshi workers sending money home.
According to the latest report from Bangladesh Bank, the inflow of remittances for the first 26 days of April comprises $853.8 million through state-owned banks, $119.4 million through a specialised bank, $1.29 billion via private banks, and $427 million through foreign banks.
