According to Bangladesh Bank data, 39 percent more remittances came in February compared to the same period last year. This is the highest remittance in a single month in the last eight months since July last year. Last June, remittances were 220 million dollars.
Remittance inflows are believed to be higher than the same period last year due to the increase in the number of expatriate workers and February being 29 days in leap year this year.
