Bangladesh's inward remittance inflow exceeded $1.5 billion in the first 11 days of November, registering 23.9 per cent year-on-year growth, according to Bangladesh Bank data.
Migrant workers sent home $1.524 billion during the period, compared to $1.231 billion in the corresponding period last year, generating an additional $293 million in foreign currency earnings.
The country received $116 million in remittances on November 11 alone.
During July 1-November 11 of the 2026-27 fiscal year, cumulative remittance inflows reached $12.989 billion, up 14.2 per cent from $11.38 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Earlier, remittance earnings stood at $12.874 billion in the first four months and 10 days of the current fiscal year, compared to $11.258 billion a year earlier, reflecting 14.4 per cent growth.
The sustained growth in remittance inflows is strengthening the country's foreign currency supply and providing support to foreign exchange reserves and the balance of payments.
