DHAKA, 26 June, 2021 (TON): Amidst the pandemic crisis, Bangladesh has crossed $45 billion on its foreign currency reserves with inward remittances continuing to boost.

On Thursday, the reserves at Bangladesh Bank were at an all-time high of $45.59 billion, a nearly 30 percent rise from the amount a year ago.

On 24 February, the reserves topped the $44 billion milestone.

In the 11 months of the outgoing fiscal year, the money sent by Bangladeshi workers abroad rose year-on-year by around 39.5 percent to $22.84 billion.

Exports increased in this period by 13.64 percent to $35.18 billion, which also helped boost the reserves.

It is likely that with the money it will be possible to pay import costs for 11 months
