Dhaka, Jan 19 (V7N) — As Bangladesh’s trade and commercial relations with countries around the world continue to expand, the volume of foreign currency exchange is also increasing steadily in line with growing business transactions and remittance inflows.

With the country’s import-export activities gaining momentum and expatriate Bangladeshis regularly sending foreign currency from abroad, exchange rates play a crucial role in trade settlements, remittance flows and economic calculations. In addition, key economic indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and per capita income are calculated in major Western currencies in accordance with international standards.

For the convenience of traders, investors and the general public, the exchange rate of the Bangladeshi taka against major foreign currencies on Sunday (January 19, 2026) is as follows:

  • US Dollar: Tk 122.31

  • Euro: Tk 142.79

  • British Pound Sterling: Tk 164.61

  • Indian Rupee: Tk 1.36

  • Malaysian Ringgit: Tk 30.00

  • Singapore Dollar: Tk 95.42

  • Saudi Riyal: Tk 32.59

  • Kuwaiti Dinar: Tk 397.48

  • Australian Dollar: Tk 82.71

Economists note that exchange rate movements have a direct impact on import costs, export earnings and the overall balance of payments. At the same time, remittances sent by expatriates remain one of the key pillars of the national economy, contributing significantly to foreign exchange reserves.

Market analysts believe that maintaining stability in the foreign exchange market is essential for sustaining economic growth, ensuring investor confidence and supporting Bangladesh’s expanding role in global trade and commerce.
