Banks, stock markets to remain closed on Tuesday

The country’s banks and capital market will remain closed on Tuesday as the new fiscal year 2025-26 begins on the day.

Banks and financial institutions will not provide services for their clients due to the bank holiday, as they will complete their book closures on the day.

As banks are closed, there will be no transactions on the Dhaka Stock Exchange or the Chittagong Stock Exchange either.

The government counts fiscal year from July 1 to June 30, while banks observe January 1 to December 31 as their financial year. For this, every year, banks settle accounts by June 30 and enjoy a holiday, known as a bank holiday, on July 1.
