Bangladesh Remittances Reach $11.99 Billion in Fiscal Year to November 3

The reported increase is 14.4 percent compared with the corresponding period a year earlier.

Bangladesh received nearly $11.99 billion in remittances from the start of July through November 3, according to figures reported by BSS on November 4. The total compares with about $10.48 billion during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, representing growth of 14.4 percent.

The first three days of November accounted for $521 million, against $330 million during the same dates in 2025. That shorter comparison showed an increase of 58.1 percent. On November 3 alone, expatriate Bangladeshis sent home $161 million, the report said.

The figures describe different reporting periods and should not be treated as interchangeable. The fiscal-year total covers several months, while the early-November number captures only three days. Neither is a completed monthly figure for November, and the short period cannot establish how inflows will perform throughout the month.

Context: Remittances supply foreign currency while supporting the households that receive them. They can influence domestic spending and banking activity, but their impact depends on how money is transferred, saved and used. A larger inflow is also distinct from an equivalent increase in a country’s foreign-exchange reserves.

For readers tracking the economy, the most useful comparisons use the same dates and a consistent data series. Later revisions, full-month releases and information about other foreign-currency flows will provide a broader picture. The latest numbers indicate stronger recorded transfers over the stated period, while leaving open questions about the durability of that pace and its relationship with the wider external balance. The reporting cut-off is therefore important.
