Abstract

The primary focus of this research is to study the impact of Foreign Exchange Reserve changes on key economic indicators, namely Inflation and the Exchange Rate of Bangladesh. In addition, the article seeks to illustrate the effects of recent theft from Bangladesh Bank’s reserve on Bangladeshi economy and exchange rate movement, based on multiple hypotheses: whether or not the changes in foreign exchange reserve can solely dictate the trend of the exchange rate; whether or not the changes in foreign exchange reserve can solely dictate the trend on inflation rate; whether or not the foreign exchange reserve kept increasing because of exports and increased inward remittance; and finally, how effective was Bangladesh Bank’s policy intervention tools to keep the economy in balance.
