The dollar lingered near a two-decade, ahead of a week loaded with market holidays and central bank decisions from Washington to London and Tokyo.

Making the value of the US dollar float based on the market demand and supply is the best among the policies that the Bangladesh Bank has enforced since early this year, when macro instability began to surface in the country.

The finance costs have at least doubled for the firms that have taken on dollar-denominated loans from external sources owing to the depreciation of the Bangladeshi taka against the American greenback. 

In recent months, the Bangladeshi taka has plummeted to new depths against the US dollar amid a worsening foreign exchange reserve crisis. This dollar crisis is impacting the RMG makers in Bangladesh in many ways, mostly negatively.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 79.84 against the dollar, then fell to 79.87, registering a decline of 4 paise over the last close.
