Bangladesh Taka (BDT) to US Dollar (USD) Daily Exchange Rate, 2024-2026

Overview

Daily USD/BDT exchange rate covering 2024-01-01 to 2026-07-07 (657 trading days), sourced from Exchange-Rates.org's historical BDT/USD pages. This is a genuine multi-year time series — much more useful for trend analysis, forecasting, or macroeconomic notebooks than a single-day snapshot.

The data captures Bangladesh's major currency events in this window, including the sharp Taka devaluation in May 2024 (BDT moved from ~109.1 to ~117.6 per USD in a single week) and the continued gradual depreciation through 2025-2026 toward ~123 BDT/USD.

Known limitations

• —Source data are mid-market rates aggregated by a third-party financial data site, not Bangladesh Bank's own interbank/WAR rate — the two track closely but are not identical (Bangladesh Bank's rate is the authoritative one for official/commercial purposes).
• —Some trading days are missing (weekends, market holidays) — this is expected and not a data quality issue.
• —2026 data only goes through July 7 (the most recent available at collection time).

Ideas for analysis (great for Kaggle notebooks)

• —Plot the full 2024-2026 trend and annotate the May 2024 devaluation event
• —Compute month-over-month depreciation rate
• —Compare against Bangladesh's inflation or remittance inflow data (if you add another dataset)
• —Simple time-series forecasting (ARIMA / Prophet) for the next quarter
