The Bangladeshi taka ended slightly easier on Tuesday as demand for the US currency rose on imports of capital machinery, dealers said.
The taka was quoted at 58.87/58.88 per dollar against 58.87/58.8750 on Monday.
"The taka lost ground further after importers sought the greenback for imports of capital machinery and accessories for garment industries," said a dealer with a foreign bank.
Dealers said demand was strong but the rate ranged between 58.87/58.88 per dollar level as public banks, huge holders of government foreign funds, sold adequate dollars.
