Bangladesh's exchange rate has fluctuated significantly over the past 55 years, with the Bangladeshi taka experiencing a substantial appreciation against the US dollar. The currency's all-time high of 121.53 in 2025 indicates a notable increase from its all-time low of 7.70 in 1972, representing a nearly 16-fold appreciation. This trend is comparable to that of Nepal, which ranks closest to Bangladesh in terms of exchange rate, with a value of 138.93 in 2025. The exchange rate has been influenced by a combination of factors, including economic growth, trade balances, and monetary policy decisions. Bangladesh's economic growth has been relatively strong in recent years, driven by its textile and garment industries, which has put upward pressure on the exchange rate. However, a decline in global textile demand or a shift in trade policies could potentially reverse this trend and lead to a depreciation of the Bangladeshi taka.
