Rupee has depreciated against almost all international currencies in the last 12 days. Economic analysts say that there is a severe dollar crisis in the country. Foreign countries already know that.

In the last 1 week, rupee has depreciated by 7 to 15 percent against the currencies of different countries. It has increased the cost of collecting remittances. As a result, commercial banks are in trouble. They have to sell the expatriate income at a lower price even if they buy it at a higher price. Due to which the supply of funds is decreasing.
Now Bangladesh Foreign Exchange Dealers Association (BAFEDA) and Association of Bankers, Bangladesh (ABB) set the dollar price. According to their instructions, the maximum dollar rate of remittance is 110 taka 50 paisa. Along with this, the government and banks are giving two and a half percent incentives. The total incentive is 5 percent. Overall, the US currency settled at Rs.116. But the bank is not getting dollars at this rate. As a result, they are buying it at 122 to 127 taka. There is a loss of 6 to 11 rupees.
