Banks, stock markets to remain closed for 4 days

All banks and stock markets in Bangladesh will remain closed for four consecutive days starting Wednesday (February 11) due to the national election and the referendum.

To facilitate voter participation and ensure smooth security arrangements, the government has declared a two-day public holiday on Wednesday and Thursday.

Since these government holidays are immediately followed by the regular weekend holidays of Friday and Saturday, the financial sector will remain inactive for a total of four days.

Normal banking operations and stock trading will resume on Sunday (February 15).
