A move is under way to facilitate sending of money back home free of cost by the Bangladeshi migrant workers. The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has prepared a concept paper on the issue. The government, not the migrant workers, will bear the cost involved in sending money to family members back home. We’re working on the matter which is still in its initial stage,” an official at the finance division told the FE. It is estimated that Tk 5.0-7.0 billion annually may be required to bear the cost of remittance transfer. The government made the move first in 2016 at a time when remittance inflow fell significantly on the back of fall of international oil prices. However, remittance has rebounded in recent months, hitting at $15.53 billion in the year 2018. Remittance jumped by nearly 15 per cent or around $2.0 billion in the 2018 calendar year, thanks to the depreciation of local currency against dollar. People familiar with the development said remittance inflows rose despite a falling trend in outbound jobs of Bangladeshis. An estimated 10 million Bangladeshi workers are employed in different countries and they remit $15 billion, on an average, every year to help boost the foreign currency reserve. The country’s economy is believed to be vibrant because of the remittances and export receipts.
