Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves surged to a record high of $10.60 billion at the end of April from $10.14 billion in March, the central bank said on Sunday, thanks to higher remittance inflows.
The central bank earlier said growth of foreign exchange reserves would be slower in the second half of the 2009/10 fiscal year (July-June) due to improving imports.
Imports for July-February decreased by 4 percent from a year earlier, while exports plunged 3 percent, widening the trade deficit to $3.32 billion from $2.99 billion in the same period of last year.
Still, strong remittances from more than six million Bangladeshis working abroad helped offset the impact of the trade shortfall and kept the overall balance of payments in surplus.
Bangladesh earned $8.27 billion in remittances in July-March, around 18 percent higher than the same period of previous year.
