Allowing the exchange rate between the Bangladeshi Taka and the US Dollar to be determined by the market—commonly referred to as a "floating exchange rate" would base the currency's value on supply and demand in the foreign exchange market, instead of being tightly controlled by Bangladesh Bank. This move could have both positive and negative effects, depending on the country’s economic condition and how the policy is implemented.
Potential positive impacts: Increased foreign currency flow, improved export competitiveness, attraction of foreign investment, reduction in the currency black market, increased financial policy independence, long-term stability, and resilience.
Potential negative impacts: Short-term currency depreciation and inflation, increased cost of imports, external debt burden, market volatility, risk of capital flight, impact on the poor, reduced central bank control.
In conclusion, opening the exchange rate would bring both opportunities and challenges for Bangladesh. It could lead to long-term benefits like increased competitiveness and investment, but the short-term impacts might be challenging, especially if the transition is not managed carefully.
