Bangladesh received $8.798 billion in remittances from July 1 through October 3, 2026, up 15.1% from $7.643 billion over the same dates in FY2025–26, according to Dhaka Tribune’s October 5 report of Bangladesh Bank data. The increase is a partial-year, year-on-year comparison—not a full-year FY2026–27 result.
What the FY2026–27 figures show
The reported total covers remittances received during the first part of Bangladesh’s fiscal year, July 1–October 3, 2026. Dhaka Tribune reported the figures on October 5, citing Bangladesh Bank data and saying executive spokesperson Arief Hossain Khan confirmed the data on October 4. The report gives the comparison below:
| Period | Reported remittances |
|---|---|
| July 1–October 3, 2026 (FY2026–27) | $8.798 billion |
| Same dates in FY2025–26 | $7.643 billion |
| Year-on-year change for these dates | Up 15.1% |
Dhaka Tribune’s October 5 report describes the figures as cumulative inflows. They should not be read as a monthly total or a completed fiscal-year tally.
How the total changed from the September snapshot
The Financial Express reported a September 20, 2026 snapshot of $7.819 billion in cumulative remittances and 14.9% year-on-year growth through that date. By the newer October 3 snapshot, the reported cumulative total was $8.798 billion and growth was 15.1%. Because the reporting dates differ, these are successive snapshots, not two figures for an identical period.
#1 Best Overall
The Financial Express’s September 21 report gives the earlier snapshot. The October 3 figure is more recent, but neither establishes the final FY2026–27 total.
Does 15.1% mean the full fiscal year has reached its target?
No. The 15.1% rate applies only to July 1–October 3 compared with the same dates in FY2025–26. The Daily Star’s budget coverage described a 15% remittance-growth target for FY2026–27; a target is not an observed full-year result. The two figures are not directly equivalent because one is an in-progress period comparison and the other is a fiscal-year goal.
The Daily Star’s budget coverage describes the 15% target. The reported partial-year growth does not show whether Bangladesh will meet that target by the end of the fiscal year.

What the available figures do—and do not—establish
The established comparison is the same-date year-on-year change: July 1–October 3 in FY2026–27 versus July 1–October 3 in FY2025–26. The reports cited here do not provide a breakdown by sending country or transfer channel, or evidence identifying the reasons for the increase. Foreign-reserve figures reported alongside the October update are a separate economic measure, not another way to state remittance inflows.
The October 5 article reports Bangladesh Bank data, but the underlying central-bank release or downloadable series is not included in that report. The figures here are therefore attributed to the reporting and its description of the central-bank data.
