Local currency ceiling for outbound travellers increased
Tuesday, 25 August 2009
Bangladesh Bank (BB) has raised the ceiling of local currency for Bangladeshi people going abroad, brining necessary changes to a decade-old rule. According to a recent BB circular, any Bangladeshi can now carry Tk 2,000 while travelling overseas. Earlier, none was allowed to carry more than Tk 500 as per the rules of the central bank, implemented in 1949. — BSS
