Dollar price jumps to 105

The price of the dollar increased by Tk2.5 in a day and stood at Tk105 in the kerb market on Sunday. 

It was sold at Tk102.5 on Thursday.

The price of the dollar rose to Tk104 last May amid global tension following the Russia-Ukraine war.

The rise was linked to the increasing demand for the dollar compared to its supply in the open market.

Money exchanges in Motijheel, Paltan and Baitul Mokarram areas of the capital reported that they bought dollars at a rate of Tk103 to Tk104 on Sunday.

The rate of currencies other than the dollar also increased. 

Saudi Riyal is being sold at Tk27.50 in the kerb market. 

Besides, the Indian rupee was sold at Tk1.30 which was Tk1.25 a week ago.
