Understanding USD to BDT Exchange Rates
The US Dollar (USD) to Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) exchange rate reflects the relationship between the world's reserve currency and the currency of one of the world's largest garment exporters. USD/BDT is heavily influenced by Bangladesh's garment export performance (textiles account for the majority of exports), remittance flows from Bangladeshi workers abroad, Bangladesh Bank monetary policy, US Federal Reserve policy decisions, and global demand for textiles. When garment exports boom or remittances increase, the taka typically strengthens, while US interest rate hikes or global economic slowdowns often boost the dollar against the BDT.
