Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) – The exchange rate of Bangladesh Taka remained stable against the US dollar in the evening transactions in the inter-bank foreign exchange market on Sunday.
The US dollar was quoted at maximum BDT 80.65-BDT 80.66 unchanged from the opening trading.
“The exchange rate of the Bangladesh Taka remained stable against the US dollar as Sunday is the weekend in the international market,” a senior treasury official of a leading commercial bank told the BBN in Dhaka Sunday evening.
“The Bangladesh currency may depreciate in the coming days due to higher demand for the greenback in the market for settlement of import-payment obligations mainly for food grains and capital machineries,” the treasury official also hinted.
On the last working day of the last week, the US dollar was quoted at maximum BDT 80.65-BDT 80.66 during the evening trading.
Bangladesh foreign exchange market remained closed on Friday and Saturday as those were weekend in the country.
