Non-bank financial institutions get nine days of Eid holiday

Bangladesh Bank has announced April 3 as a holiday for non-bank financial institutions (NBFI), the same as government employees.

The Financial Institutions and Markets Department of Bangladesh Bank issued the notification on Monday.

It said the Ministry of Public Administration has declared April 3 (Thursday) as a public holiday on the occasion of the upcoming holy Eid-ul-Fitr. Finance companies, like government institutions, will also be closed on that day.

However, the central bank has yet to declare the holidays for banks on the occasion of Eid.
