Bangladesh Bank Buys $25 Million to Maintain Stability in Foreign Market

The central bank took the initiative amid an increase in the inflow of remittances and export earnings, which has boosted the supply of U.S. dollars in the market.

The dollars were purchased on Thursday through the Multiple Price Auction (MPA) method. Bangladesh Bank bought the foreign currency at an exchange rate of Tk 122.75 per U.S. dollar.

The development was confirmed to the media by Arif Hossain Khan, Executive Director and spokesperson of Bangladesh Bank.

According to Bangladesh Bank data, the central bank has purchased a total of $6.4165 billion from various commercial banks so far in the 2025–26 fiscal year. Of this amount, $101 million was bought during the first four days of June alone.

The latest purchase reflects the central bank’s efforts to manage excess dollar liquidity in the market while supporting exchange rate stability amid stronger foreign currency inflows.
