(4/4) When your income is not increasing but prices are increasing, your real income and purchasing power start declining. In other words, millions of people struggle to buy food and pay the utility bills when prices are rising rapidly.

(1/4) Bangladesh's inflation rate has remained over 9% for three consecutive months. While the US inflation rate in June 2026 was 3.5%, Bangladesh's inflation rate in June 2026 was 9.16%. 👇

(3/4) However, an over 8-9% inflation rate every month signals that millions of people in Bangladesh, especially the lower and middle income class, are facing higher prices for food, energy, and all the essentials. But their income is not increasing.

When we have fewer foreign reserves, this also means we have to pay more for imported goods, which in turn causes inflation to go up, and millions of people suffer because they cannot afford to pay higher prices.

Bangladesh's remittance inflow has stayed below $3 billion for the second consecutive month. In June 2026, Bangladesh received $2.82 billion in remittance, which slightly increased to $2.86 billion in July 2026.

That's why, when the remittance inflow starts slowing down, this puts massive pressure on Bangladesh's economy.

In fact, a growing remittance inflow helps Bangladesh to keep the exchange rate steady.

Bangladesh's remittance inflow has stayed below $3 billion for the second consecutive month. In June 2026, Bangladesh received $2.82 billion in remittance, which slightly increased to $2.86 billion in July 2026.

Why is this important?

Bangladesh's diaspora sends remittance each year, which helps the government to increase Bangladesh's foreign currency reserves. Then the government uses our foreign currency reserves to pay for all the imports and foreign debt obligations. That's why, when the remittance inflow starts slowing down, this puts massive pressure on Bangladesh's economy.
