About Bangladeshi Taka (৳)
The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT, ISO 4217 code 050, symbol ৳) is the official currency of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, issued by Bangladesh Bank (BB, est. 1971). Subdivided into 100 poisha (no longer in widespread use). Banknotes: ৳2, ৳5, ৳10, ৳20, ৳50, ৳100, ৳200 (introduced 2020 commemorating Mujib Year — the 100th birth anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founding father of Bangladesh), ৳500, ৳1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Sheikh Mujibur Rahman portrait and Bangladeshi cultural/historical themes); coins: ৳1, ৳2, ৳5. Bangladesh is the world's 8th-most-populous country (~170 million) and the 35th-largest economy by nominal GDP (~$460B in 2024 per IMF WEO). The economy is dominated by ready-made garments — Bangladesh is the world's #2 RMG exporter after China (~$45B/year, ~84% of total exports), supplying H&M, Walmart, Zara, Levi's, Gap, Target, and most major Western brands. Other major exports: leather goods, frozen fish/shrimp, jute. BB targets 5.5% CPI inflation. The taka was pegged to USD until 2003, then transitioned to a managed-float regime. Inflation reached 9-10% in 2022-2023 amid Russia-Ukraine commodity-price shock.
About Sri Lankan Rupee (₨)
The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR, ISO 4217 code 144, symbol ₨ or SLR) is the official currency of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, issued by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL, est. 1950).

Sri Lanka experienced its worst economic crisis since independence in 2022 — sovereign default on April 12, 2022 (the first in Sri Lanka's history), severe fuel/food/medicine shortages, mass protests forcing the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa July 9, 2022, IMF Extended Fund Facility $3 billion approved March 2023, and LKR depreciation from ~Rs.200/USD pre-crisis to ~Rs.360/USD peak. Tourism (especially from Russia, India, UK, China) and remittances are recovering. CBSL targets 4-6% CPI inflation per Flexible Inflation-Targeting framework. Sri Lanka's external debt restructuring with India + China + Paris Club creditors remained ongoing as of 2024.
