$1.26b remittance received in 22 days

Bangladesh received inward remittance worth $1,26 billion in the first 22 days of September, amid the forex crisis in the country.

In the last one week alone, the country received $256.72 million as remittance, according to Bangladesh Bank data.

Bankers said remittance inflow shows an upward trend as the remitters are encouraged by the depreciation of taka against USD.

Bangladesh received remittances of $2.09 billion in July and $2.03 billion in August, which became a blessing amidst the forex crisis.
