Probashi Kallyan Bank today (June 11, 2022) launched a new foreign currency exchange booth at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in the capital.

Expatriates' Welfare Minister Imran Ahmad formally inaugurated the booth as chief guest during a ceremony held at the Dhaka airport in the morning, said a press release of the ministry.

The minister said migrant workers will benefit from the initiative.

"The government is committed to ease different services for migrant workers and ensure their wellbeing," he added.

The booth has been set up beside the expatriates' welfare desk of the ministry at the airport's departure terminal, the release said.

At the new booth, outbound migrant workers will be able to exchange taka for different foreign currencies, said Kamal Hossain, senior principal officer of Probashi Kallyan Bank head office.

The bank has another booth at the airport's arrival where home-bound migrant workers can exchange foreign currencies for taka, he told this newspaper over the phone.
