Bangladesh Bank has relaxed foreign exchange rules for businesses operating in the country`s Economic Zones, allowing them greater flexibility to send royalty, technical know-how and technical assistance fees abroad.
Under a circular issued on Monday, authorised dealer banks may process such remittances beyond the limits set under existing foreign exchange regulations for companies located in the Domestic Processing Areas of Economic Zones.
However, businesses seeking to remit amounts above the prescribed ceiling will need prior approval from the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority.
The central bank also made BEZA approval mandatory for outward remittances against other similar legitimate expenses, regardless of the amount involved.
The latest decision follows a review of the rules introduced through a Bangladesh Bank circular issued in September 2025.
All other existing conditions governing outward remittances for royalty, technical services and related payments will remain unchanged.
