The BDT/USD pair shows how many US dollars one Bangladeshi taka buys, reflecting trade, remittances, and monetary policy differences between Bangladesh and the United States.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.

The BDT/USD exchange rate indicates the value of the Bangladeshi taka (BDT) against the US dollar (USD). As a directed pair, it shows how many US dollars are needed to purchase one taka. This rate is crucial for Bangladeshi importers paying for goods priced in dollars, exporters receiving dollar revenues, and the large diaspora sending remittances home. When the BDT appreciates against the USD, each taka buys more dollars, making imports cheaper for Bangladesh but potentially reducing the local-currency value of remittances and export earnings.
Structural drivers of BDT/USD include the monetary policies of the Bangladesh Bank and the US Federal Reserve. Interest rate differentials influence capital flows: higher rates in Bangladesh can attract foreign investment, supporting the taka, while higher US rates tend to strengthen the dollar. Inflation differentials also matter—higher inflation in Bangladesh erodes the taka's purchasing power. Trade flows are significant: Bangladesh's garment exports and imports of machinery and raw materials create demand for dollars. Remittances, a key source of foreign exchange, provide support for the taka. Global risk sentiment affects capital flows to emerging markets like Bangladesh, with risk-off periods often strengthening the dollar.
Over recent years, the BDT/USD rate has experienced phases influenced by Bangladesh's economic growth, remittance trends, and global dollar cycles. The taka has generally faced depreciation pressure due to higher inflation and a widening trade deficit, though periods of strong remittance inflows and export growth have provided support. The US dollar's strength during Federal Reserve tightening cycles has also weighed on the taka. Without specific historical data, the pair's trajectory reflects the interplay of Bangladesh's development needs and global financial conditions, with the Bangladesh Bank intervening periodically to manage volatility.
