he influence of the US dollar in the global market continues to grow. Its dominance in international trade and commercial transactions is directly affecting Bangladesh’s economy.
Economists say that due to the dollar’s stronghold, Bangladesh’s export goods face limited competitiveness. At the same time, rising import costs are driving up prices in the domestic market.

Economist Dr. Mohammad Zahidul Islam commented, “Dollar dominance affects not only the business sector but also the daily expenses and living standards of ordinary people.”
