The Business Standard and DataSense of iSocial today (15 November) launched Remittance Intelligence Bangladesh, a dedicated platform bringing together comprehensive information, research and insights on the country’s migration and remittance ecosystem.
The platform has been developed under the Shafal – Remittance Management for Socio-economic Stability of Migrant Families programme, funded by the Embassy of Switzerland in Bangladesh and implemented by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF).
The Shafal programme aims to improve services for the efficient management of migrants’ remittances and strengthen the resilience of migrant families.
Remittance Intelligence Bangladesh goes beyond conventional remittance inflow statistics and aims to make relevant information more accessible to policymakers, researchers, development practitioners, financial service providers, journalists and other stakeholders.
The platform features interactive dashboards presenting regularly updated monthly trends in remittance inflows, country-wise remittance contributions, district-level distribution and overseas employment. Users can track changes in migration flows, identify major destination countries, and explore how remittance earnings are distributed across Bangladesh.
It also offers a historical perspective through its “Remittance Glory” dashboard, which tracks the country’s annual remittance inflows. Separate geographical visualisations provide district-wise overseas employment and remittance earnings for FY26, allowing users to examine the regional distribution of migrant workers and the financial flows they generate.
A dedicated section, “Contribution of Remittance in Macroeconomic Stability”, examines the role of remittances in Bangladesh’s external economic position.
Beyond the dashboards, the platform serves as a knowledge repository featuring analytical reports, case studies, stakeholder interviews and curated news updates.
The platform also features video interviews with key stakeholders, offering perspectives on emerging challenges and policy developments in the sector.
Regularly updated with the latest available data, analysis, and developments, the platform aims to serve as a central resource for understanding how overseas employment and remittances shape Bangladesh’s economy and the lives of migrant families.
