Currency ceiling for out bound travellers increased

Bangladesh Bank has raised the ceiling of local currency for
Bangladeshi people going abroad, brining necessary changes to a
decade-old rule. According to a recent BB circular, any
Bangladeshi can now carry Tk 2,000 while travelling overseas.
Earlier, none was allowed to carry more than Tk 500 as per the rules
of the central bank, implemented in 1949. A Bangladesh Bank
official said the limit of allowable local currency had been
increased so that people could have sufficient money to get home on
their return from overseas.
