The Bangladesh Bank has continued its intervention in the foreign exchange market, purchasing another $141.5 million from 13 commercial banks, reflecting sustained dollar inflows and a relatively comfortable reserves position.

According to BB spokesperson Arief Hossain Khan, the central bank bought the greenbacks on Monday at rates ranging between Tk122.29 and Tk122.30 per US dollar, setting Tk122.30 as the cut-off rate.

With this latest purchase, the Bangladesh Bank’s total dollar acquisition in December has risen to $624.5 million.

So far in the current 2025-26 fiscal year, the central bank has bought a cumulative $2.80 billion from the banking system, signalling a notable shift from the dollar sales seen during periods of acute foreign exchange stress in previous years.
