Inward remittances to Bangladesh fell by nearly 20 percent during the first three days of June compared to the same period last year, according to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank.
Expatriate Bangladeshis sent US$483.05 million in remittances between June 1 and June 3. Bangladesh Bank (BB) Spokesperson and Executive Director Arief Hossain Khan confirmed the figures on Thursday.
Central bank statistics show that on June 3 alone, the country received $116.31 million.
However, the overall inflows for the first three days represent a 19.96 percent decline compared to the matching period of the previous year (June 1–3, 2025), when remittances stood at $603.51 million.
Despite the brief drop at the start of the month, overall remittance inflows for the current fiscal year FY2025–26 remain robust.
From July 1, 2025, to June 3, 2026, Bangladesh received a total of $33.24 billion in remittances. This marks an 18.25 percent growth compared to the $28.11 billion recorded during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
