After over a year, foreign-currency dealers and bankers in Bangladesh reduced the raised exchange rate of the US dollar by Tk 0.50 across the board–for remittances, export proceeds and import payments. As per the latest decision, exporters and remitters will now receive Tk 110 per dollar, down from the existing rate of Tk 110.50. Importers will now need to pay little lower, Tk 110.50, to purchase an American greenback from banks, compared to the previous rate of Tk 111. The austerity measure amid forex crunch cast its fallout on production and consumption both through fall in capital-goods import and price rises for short supply and inflation.
