Dhaka, August 10, 2026 — Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves stood at $32.15 billion as of August 7, 2026, according to the BPM6 methodology — the internationally comparable measure of a country's usable foreign exchange reserves. The latest reserve position comes a day after Bangladesh Bank reported that gross reserves had crossed the $32 billion mark.

📊 Context

The reserves have been gradually improving despite the current account deficit widening to $1.59 billion in FY26. The overall balance of payments surplus of $6.6 billion, driven by strong financial account inflows ($7.89 billion surplus) and record remittances ($35.6 billion), has helped rebuild the reserve position. The central bank has been working to maintain stability in the country's external sector and foreign exchange market amid efforts to strengthen Bangladesh's foreign exchange position.
