Abstract: In any developing country, shortage of foreign exchange reserve, which is very essential to pay the import bills, is a common problem. Bangladesh, which depends more on remittances to pay its import bills, is not an exception. Over the last decade, the workers’ remittances played a crucial role in the economic development of the country. This paper examines the determinants of remittances in the economy of Bangladesh. Using econometric techniques, this study finds that factors like GDP, crude petroleum price and exchange rate have a significant positive impact on the remittance inflow in Bangladesh.
