Bangladesh Bank has bought more than $4 billion from the foreign exchange market so far in the current fiscal year. 

Official data show the central bank purchased $218.5 million from 16 commercial banks on Monday. The cut-off rate was Tk 122.30 per US dollar. This was the first dollar purchase by the regulator in February.

With the latest transaction, total dollar purchases in fiscal year 2025–26 have reached $4.152 billion.

Bangladesh Bank has been buying dollars consistently in recent months.

In previous years, the situation was reversed. Between fiscal years 2021 and 2025, Bangladesh Bank sold more than $25 billion from its reserves.

As of January 29, Bangladesh’s gross foreign exchange reserves stood at $33.18 billion, according to central bank figures.

Officials say the central bank will continue to monitor market conditions closely.
