The exchange rates of Taka for inter-bank and customer transactions are set by the

dealer banks themselves, based on demand-supply interaction. The Bangladesh Bank

is not present in the market on a day-to-day basis and undertake purchase or sale
transactions with the dealer banks only as needed to maintain orderly market
conditions.
The exchange rates are used as reference rates to purchase or sale transactions for
Bangladesh Bank with Government or different International Organization. But
USD/BDT buying and selling rates represent previous day interbank market's highest
and lowest exchange rates.
