The Bangladesh Bank (BB) yesterday asked banks to keep a maximum of Tk 1 as a spread between the buying and selling rates of the US dollar.
After seven months of implementing a crawling peg exchange rate system in spot purchases and sales of US dollars, the Bangladesh Bank (BB) is now considering increasing the mid-rate to Tk 119 from Tk 117 per greenback, according to central bank officials.
In its effort to arrest the fall in forex reserves and bring unrealised export proceeds into the country, the Bangladesh Bank today allowed bankers to offer the existing US dollar exchange rate to exporters.
It's because of the inflation-led pressures on Bangladesh’s taka and the central bank's undervaluation of the US dollar.
Association of Bankers, Bangladesh (ABB) decided to sell each US dollar at Tk 110.50 to importers and buy it at Tk 110 from exporters and remitters
Bankers today decided to appreciate the taka against the US dollar by Tk 0.50 from tomorrow as they observed an improvement in the overall current account balance, which records the nation's transactions with the rest of the world
Banks will buy dollar at Tk 110, sell at Tk 110.5 from Nov 23
The Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh says in a press briefing
Earlier this month, the edible oil refiners’ association wrote to the Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission seeking to increase prices of cooking oil.
