FAQs
Bangladesh's official currency is the Taka, abbreviated BDT, issued by Bangladesh Bank, the country's central bank. Bank notes range from one up to one thousand taka, with coins covering smaller denominations. Bangladesh has one of the fastest growing economies in South Asia, and remittances sent home by Bangladeshis working abroad, particularly in the Gulf countries and Southeast Asia, form a substantial part of the national economy, second only to the country's large garment export industry. For anyone sending money to Bangladesh, checking the current BDT exchange rate before transferring is useful, since even modest movements can affect how much a recipient ultimately receives for larger transfer amounts.
