Understanding BDT to USD Exchange Rates
The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) is the currency of one of the world's most densely populated countries and a major garment exporter. BDT/USD exchange rates are influenced by Bangladesh Bank monetary policy, garment export performance (textiles are Bangladesh's largest export), remittance flows from overseas workers, US Federal Reserve decisions, and global economic conditions affecting demand for textile imports. The taka tends to strengthen when remittances increase or garment exports grow, while it weakens during economic downturns or when commodity prices rise.
