Bangladesh’s London mission for increasing remittance flow legally

The Bangladesh High Commission in London has taken a special initiative to increase the flow of remittances from the UK and Ireland through official channels.

A views-exchange meeting “Opportunities for Greater Remittance Flows from the UK and Ireland” was organised by the high commission with representatives of money exchange houses of the UK to this end on Friday (local time), read a press release.

Saida Muna Tasneem, high commissioner of Bangladesh to the UK, chaired the programme.

Urging British-Bangladeshis to send remittances legally, Bangladesh High Commissioner Saida Muna Tasneem said the government led by Sheikh Hasina announced a 2.5 per cent incentive against remittances for the expatriates to encourage them to send the money through valid channels.
