About Bangladeshi Taka
The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) has been the official currency of Bangladesh since the country's independence in 1971, replacing the Pakistani rupee. The word "taka" derives from the Sanskrit "tankah", an ancient silver coin. Bangladesh Bank, the central bank, manages monetary policy. The taka is divided into 100 poisha. Bangladesh's economy has grown remarkably over the past three decades, powered primarily by its garment and textile export industry - the second largest in the world after China.
About Sri Lankan Rupee
The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) has been the official currency of Sri Lanka since 1872, with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) managing monetary policy since 1950. Sri Lanka experienced a severe economic crisis in 2022, running out of foreign exchange reserves, causing widespread fuel, medicine, and food shortages that led to political upheaval and the resignation of the president. An IMF bailout agreement in 2023 helped stabilise the situation. Sri Lanka's economy is based on tourism, garment exports, tea (a world-leading exporter), and remittances.
