Central bank caps remittance dollar purchase rate at Tk 123

The Bangladesh Bank (BB) has instructed other banks to purchase remittance dollars at a maximum rate of Tk 123 per dollar.
The instruction came at a meeting with 13 commercial banks held at the BB headquarters in Dhaka on Tuesday.
"We've been instructed to buy remittance dollars at a maximum rate of Tk 123," the deputy managing director of a leading private commercial bank (PCB) told the FE while replying to a query.
Another deputy managing director of a PCB indicates that the rate of remittance dollars may fall further in the near future.
The BB's latest move came against the backdrop of volatility in the country's foreign exchange market in
recent days.
