Remittance inflows reached $3.75 billion in March, an all-time high, as Bangladeshis working abroad sent increased amounts to enable their loved ones to celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitr festival amid the escalating war in the Middle Eas stemming from the US-Israel conflict with Iran.The inflow surged 14 percent year-on-year from $3.29 billion in March 2025.

With March included, overall remittance—which serves as a major source for Bangladesh to clear its external payments—stood at $26.20 billion in the first nine months of the fiscal year 2025-26, posting a 20 percent spike over the same period a year ago, according to Bangladesh Bank (BB) data.
