Remittances are the wages Bangladeshi workers abroad send home through formal banking channels. They are the economy’s second-largest foreign-currency earner after garment exports, the main income floor for millions of households, and a direct support for the taka and reserves.
Bangladesh Bank publishes the monthly total in the first days of the following month; each figure here is labelled with the month it covers.
