NUMBERS 15.31

Bangladesh receives a record $15.3bn in remittances from its migrant workers in the last fiscal year 2014-15. It's the highest in the country's history. Bangladesh received nearly $14.23bn in remittance in the 2013-14 fiscal yeas and this year by making $15.3bn, it records a 7.6 percent from the previous year. Experts believe that the rise in manpower export and central bank's efficient measures to ease the inflow using formal channels are the reasons behind this increased remittance growth.
