More interest is still coming to the Bangladesh currency market as the exchange rates of the major international currencies vary on a daily basis and this has a direct impact on trade, remittances and price of imports. On September 3, 2025, Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) recorded a significant variation against the US dollar, the euro, the pound sterling and many other regional currencies. It is important for these businesses, travelers, and remittances receivers to keep abreast of these changes to ensure they control costs and budgets. The current rates are based on the global market trends, the home demand of the foreign exchange, and the external trade position of Bangladesh.
Exchange Rates Across Major Currencies
As per the official sources, the US dollar was valued at $1 = 121.7 BDT exchange rate. The dollar is the most important currency to Bangladesh as it affects the foreign remittances, foreign reserves, and payments of imports. When the dollar rate increases, this will typically increase the cost of imports, such as fuel and raw materials, which will affect domestic inflation.
Today, the official rates of the most traded global and regional currencies are as follows in a clear picture:
Exchange rates in Bangladesh (September 3, 2025)
Currency | Code | Rate in BDT |
US Dollar | USD | 121.7 |
Euro | EUR | 141.5 |
British Pound Sterling | GBP | 162.6 |
Indian Rupee | INR | 1.382 |
Pakistani Rupee | PKR | 0.4318 |
UAE Dirham | AED | 33.12 |
Australian Dollar | AUD | 79.27 |
Canadian Dollar | CAD | 88.18 |
The Euro was priced at €1 = 141.5 BDT and the British pound sterling at £1 = 162.6 BDT, which indicates that they remain strong in the international market. Bangladesh especially depends on these currencies in the export of its garments to Europe since it has excellent trade relations with European countries.
The Indian rupee (INR) was at ₹1 = 1.382 BDT, and the Pakistani rupee (PKR) was at ₨1 = 0.4318 BDT. In the Middle East, د.إ1 = UAE dirham (AED) = 33.12 BDT, which is critical in the remittance flows because the UAE is among the most sought-after destinations of Bangladeshi workers.
Market Impact and Economic Outlook
The fluctuations in the exchange rates reflect that Bangladesh is still grappling with the issue of maintaining foreign reserves against the rising import bills. Although a stronger dollar will boost remittance inflows in Toki terms, it will boost the price of basic imports, which will put pressure on domestic inflation.
A stronger dollar leaves the exporters in the ready-made garment industry with a greater amount of Taka, since the earnings in the foreign currency are translated back into more Taka. But importers, especially those in fuel-intensive industries, machine-intensive industries, and those based on raw materials, are burdened with increased costs.
According to economists, a stable foreign exchange policy is the key to growth. As the world is becoming uncertain, like fluctuation of oil prices due to uncertain oil supply policies, monetary policies of the developed economies, Bangladesh will have to keep a close eye on its exchange position. The key role in stabilizing the Taki in the next few months is likely to be played by central bank interventions and stable remittance inflows.
In the eyes of people, especially people who rely on remittances or are travelling to other countries, tracking of daily exchange rates improves better planning and decision making.
