The ongoing strain on Bangladesh’s foreign exchange regime has created cash shortages in the banking sector, sending the interbank call money rate to a 19-month high yesterday. The weighted average rate in the interbank call money market, where banks borrow from each other on an overnight basis, stood at 4.65 per cent yesterday in contrast to 3.52 per cent a month ago and 1.89 per cent a year prior. The previous peak was recorded in August 2020 when the rate stood at 4.7 per cent. This forced the Bangladesh Bank to inject a record $3.78 billion between July 1 and March 23 to keep the exchange rate of the taka against the dollar stable. This means banks have to spend more than Tk 32,500 crore to buy the dollars. One USD yields Tk 86.20 as per the current interbank rate. Between January and June, imports soared to $46.67 billion, up 46 per cent year-on-year. Exports increased 29 per cent to $27.97 billion.
Export receipts hit $4.76 billion in March, the highest ever on record in a single month, posting 55 per cent growth year-on-year as buoyancy remained in shipments of major manufactured goods such as garments, home textiles and leather footwear despite the Russia-Ukraine war’s effect on global trade. The previous record was of October 2021 when it reached $4.73 billion. With March, the total earnings from shipping goods abroad rose 33.4 per cent year-on-year to $38.6 billion in nine months since July of fiscal year 2021-22, providing much-needed support to the country’s foreign exchange reserves, which is under pressure amid ballooning imports. The foreign exchange reserve, which stood at $46 billion on December 29, 2021, stood at $44.25 billion on March 30, according to Bangladesh Bank.
