Money sent home by expatriate Bangladeshis fell by around 13% to $1.88 billion in May this year compared to the corresponding month last year, the central bank said on Wednesday. The country had received $2.01 billion from the expatriates in April this year, according to the Bangladesh Bank, which means May remittance inflow fell by 6.23% from the previous month. The country received $19.19 billion as remittances in the 11 months of the current fiscal year (July-May), 15.94% lower than the corresponding period of the previous year. After dipping for five months in a row in the fiscal 2021-22, remittances started resurging in December and January, but stumbled again in February. The major macroeconomic factor rebounded in March and continued the boost in April to $2.01 billion – the highest in the previous 11 months. The government set a $26 billion remittance target for FY22. However, the country received $19.19 billion in the first 11 months of the current year, which is around 73% of the target.
