All scheduled banks across Bangladesh will suspend customer-level transactions on Wednesday, July 1, in observance of the annual bank holiday. The suspension also extends to trading activities at the country’s stock exchanges. However, the head offices of Bangladesh Bank and other scheduled banks, along with a few key branches, will remain open on a limited scale to handle administrative and accounting tasks only.

According to Bangladesh Bank regulations, July 1 and December 31 are designated as bank holidays each year. On these days, banks halt customer transactions to complete internal accounting, financial reporting, and administrative work. The observance ensures that institutions can finalize their mid-year and year-end financial statements without disruption from regular operations.

The temporary closure is a routine measure and part of the banking sector’s annual schedule, aimed at maintaining financial transparency and operational efficiency across the system.
