Remittances past $20b in 10 months

Remittance inflow surpassed the $20-billion mark in the first 10 months of this fiscal year riding on the relentless efforts of migrant workers to send their hard-earned money home through banking channels. Between July and April, the Bangladeshi diaspora sent $20.66 billion, up 39 per cent year-on-year, according to data from the central bank.
