According to the Bangladesh Bank data, the country’s trade deficit hit a historic high of $33.25 billion in the fiscal 2021-22 due to a surge in imports and commodity price hikes in the global market. The trade deficit in FY21 stood at $23.78 billion. Between July and June last fiscal year, imports increased to $82.50 billion, up 35.95% year-on-year when exports grew 33.45% to $49.25 billion.

The price of dollar for import payments against letters of credit has been on the rise despite a fall in the kerb market. On Tuesday, banks charged importers up to Tk107 for a dollar, which was Tk105 last week, while the interbank exchange rate has been constant at Tk94.70 for the last eight days. The greenback fell to Tk107 in the kerb market on Tuesday from a record high of Tk112 on 26 July, thanks to the ongoing central bank’s raids and other regulatory measures. According to the latest data, the central bank sold dollars to commercial banks at the rate of Tk94.70. At the beginning of May, it was just TK86.45.
