Bangladesh receives record remittances in August
Bangladesh received a record 937.91 million US dollars in remittances from the country's millions of expatriate workers in August, up 29.92 percent from a year earlier, a senior central bank official said on Sunday.
Remittance from major countries except the US shot up by 16-55 percent year-on-year in 2012, due to an increase in Bangladeshi wage earners abroad and their incomes.
