Factors That Affect the BDT/USD Exchange Rate
Several economic forces drive the value of the Bangladeshi taka relative to the US dollar:
Remittances from abroad
Bangladesh is one of the world's top remittance-receiving nations. Millions of Bangladeshi workers in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States send money home each year. Higher remittance inflows increase the supply of foreign currency, which supports the taka.
Garment & textile exports (RMG sector)
The ready-made garments sector accounts for a large share of Bangladesh's export earnings. Strong global demand for Bangladeshi apparel brings in USD revenues and helps stabilise the exchange rate.
Import costs & trade balance
Bangladesh is a net importer of fuel, machinery, and raw materials, most of which are priced in US dollars. When import costs rise, demand for USD increases, putting downward pressure on the taka.
Bangladesh Bank policy & foreign reserves
Bangladesh Bank manages the taka through market interventions. The level of foreign-exchange reserves directly affects how much the central bank can support the domestic currency.
US Federal Reserve interest rates
When the Fed raises interest rates, global capital tends to flow toward USD-denominated assets, strengthening the dollar against many emerging-market currencies, including the taka.
