Remittance inflow hits $425m in just 5 days

Bangladesh has been witnessing an upsurge in remittance inflow after the fall of Hasina regime. Expatriates sent $425 million in just the first five days of October. The central bank provided the latest data to the media on Sunday.
During the last month, Bangladesh saw $2.40 billion remittance inflow, which was the third highest monthly inflow recorded in recent years.
Bangladesh had seen the highest remittance inflow of $2.53 billion back in June. However, after the quota reform movement began in July, a remittance shutdown programme spread through the social media to create pressure on the Hasina government.
