The Bangladeshi taka eased on Monday due to demand for dollars to cover imports of edible oil, dealers said.
The taka was quoted at 58.95/59.25 per dollar against 58.90/59.25 per dollar on Sunday, a work-day in Bangladesh.
"The taka eased as there was limited supply of the greenback," one dealer with a private bank said.
One dominant public bank sold a limited amount of dollars as it has been hoarding the US currency to make a government import payment.
Call money rates ranged between 3.0 percent and 6.0 percent against 2.5-5.0 percent on Sunday.
