Bank holiday Tuesday: Banking, stock market transactions to remain suspended

NN Online:

All banking transactions and stock market trading will remain suspended across Bangladesh on Tuesday (July 1) in observance of a Bank Holiday.

According to the Bangladesh Bank’s official holiday calendar, both July 1 and December 31 are marked as Bank Holidays each year to facilitate the closing and finalization of annual financial accounts.

On these two dates—coinciding with the start of the fiscal year and the end of the calendar year—scheduled banks across the country halt all customer-facing operations.

While customer services will be closed, essential internal administrative work will continue at bank headquarters and select key branches. The Bangladesh Bank, along with all other commercial banks, will not carry out any transactions during the holiday. However, ATM and some digital banking services will remain operational.

As banking services are essential for trading settlements, the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) will also remain closed on Tuesday.
