Anyone who passed by a money changer in Motijheel this morning would have noticed the screens shifting again. The numbers never sit still. Currency exchange price today in Bangladesh decides how importers pay, how students abroad budget, and how families here stretch their remittances.
The taka lined itself against the US dollar, Canadian dollar, Indian rupee, UAE dirham, euro, British pound, and Pakistani rupee with mixed strength.
Latest Exchange Rates Today (Main Update)
Counters inside banks stayed crowded. People leaned in, asked about today’s figures, and sometimes shook their heads. The open market told a similar story. Here are the reference rates released earlier:
- US Dollar (USD): 121.70 BDT
- Indian Rupee (INR): 1.38 BDT
- UAE Dirham (AED): 33.15 BDT
- Euro (EUR): 142.80 BDT
- British Pound (GBP): 164.98 BDT
- Pakistani Rupee (PKR): 0.43 BDT
- Canadian Dollar (CAD): 90.50 BDT
Even half a taka makes people recalculate. One shopkeeper mentioned how paying suppliers felt heavier than last week.
USD to BDT Exchange Rate
The dollar always carries the loudest voice. At 121.70 taka, it forces importers to adjust invoices for fuel, fabrics, or medical supplies. Exporters like the higher returns, but ordinary households feel the pinch when market stalls lift prices to match. A garment trader in Narayanganj admitted he checks the dollar more often than the weather.
Indian Rupee (INR) to BDT
The rupee stood at 1.38 taka. Border towns keep a close eye on this figure. Trucks bringing onions or construction stone from India depend on it. Families paying for medical trips to Kolkata quietly exchange rupees in advance, fearing a jump overnight. Even school kids notice when bus fares across borders shift.
UAE Dirham (AED) to BDT
At 33.15 taka, the dirham stayed firm. Families in Sylhet live by this number. A driver in Abu Dhabi sends home 1,000 dirhams; the exact taka value decides if his daughter’s school fees clear on time. The steady dirham gives some comfort, though minor drops still ripple across households.
Euro (EUR) to BDT
The euro moved at 142.80 taka. Export houses dealing with German and French buyers take it as good news. For students arranging semesters abroad, the story flips. Tuition bills in euros suddenly look larger. A father standing in a Dhanmondi bank sighed, saying one semester abroad feels like buying a small flat in Dhaka.
British Pound (GBP) to BDT
The pound touched 164.98 taka. Remittances from the UK convert into larger sums, lifting many family incomes. Yet for new students in Manchester or Birmingham, the figure tightens budgets. The air around UK visa centres in Dhaka often buzzes with quiet complaints about the stubbornly high pound.
Pakistani Rupee (PKR) to BDT
At 0.43 taka, the Pakistani rupee barely stirs talk. Still, businesses handling garments and agriculture across the two countries notice the effect. A small exchange house in Chattogram admitted only a handful of clients asked about PKR today, but it matters for niche trade.
Canadian Dollar (CAD) to BDT
Around 90.50 taka, the Canadian dollar is now a regular concern. More families eyeing migration or study in Toronto and Vancouver ask about CAD before any other currency. Education consultants in Banani say parents call daily just to ask, “How much is CAD today?” The figure shapes decisions on property deposits, tuition drafts, and even travel bookings.
Factors Driving Today’s Currency Rates
Rates rarely move without reason. Traders mention the same drivers repeatedly: dollar strength abroad, remittance flow, trade balance, and policy.
Global Dollar Strength
When the US dollar hardens, every other currency bends. Interest rate hikes in Washington make dollars scarce in Dhaka. Importers feel it first, then shopkeepers, and finally households at the kitchen table.
Remittance Flow
Festive months bring higher inflows, softening pressure. On quieter weeks, families waiting on transfers from Dubai or London notice the difference. Today’s rates reflect a dip compared with Eid periods.
Trade Gap
Bangladesh still buys more than it sells. Oil, wheat, and machinery keep demand for dollars high. The mismatch pulls the taka down, especially against the stronger currencies.
Central Bank Moves
Bangladesh Bank continues to release reserves to keep rates stable. The move slows sudden shocks, though it cannot change global demand. Dealers in Motijheel quietly admit that without this intervention, rates would have jumped faster.
Tips for Money Exchange & Remittance
For families and businesses, the exchange counter is no small errand. A few steps make the process less painful.
- Compare rates first. Counters differ, sometimes by a full taka on larger currencies.
- Stay with licensed dealers. Street corners may tempt, but receipts matter when disputes arise.
- Watch the calendar. Weekends, festivals, or international announcements can swing prices.
- Check fees on apps. Faster does not always mean cheaper. Confirm the total before sending.
- Keep proof. SMS alerts, slips, or receipts close arguments later.
Currency exchange in Bangladesh has grown into a daily headline. It sets the rhythm for markets, homes, and even classrooms abroad. Today’s numbers may shift again tomorrow, but they tell the story of how tightly linked the taka is to every global turn.
