USD to BDT Exchange Rate History — Bangladesh
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Bangladeshi Taka parallel (black market) rate moved from about 122 BDT on Jun 5, 2026 to 126.98 BDT on Jun 6, 2026 — a change of +4.1%. Across that window the Bangladeshi Taka weakened against the dollar, trading between a low of 122 and a high of 127.34 BDT, averaging 126.96 BDT per US dollar.
Bangladeshis track the "kerb market" taka rate, which has run well below the dollar's street value during recent reserve squeezes.
How to read the BDT rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many BDT it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Bangladeshi Taka is losing value (more BDT per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (127.34) and the low (122) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.5% around the average.
What has moved the Bangladeshi Taka recently?
In Bangladesh, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as dollar shortages, reserve pressure, import controls. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Bangladesh Bank rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical BDT rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to BDT page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
