All banks across the nation will be closed tomorrow, August 5, in observance of ‘July Uprising Day’. Concurrently, trading activities on the two major capital markets, the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), will also be suspended.

A notification regarding this matter was released by the Department of Site Supervision of Bangladesh Bank on Thursday (July 17).

The notification indicated that, following the Cabinet Division’s announcement on July 2, all banks will observe a closure for ‘July Uprising Day’.

Previously, the government designated August 5 as ‘July Uprising Day’, and a general holiday was proclaimed for all government entities in recognition of this day. Accordingly, private banks have also declared holidays.

Officials have stated that while physical banking services will not be available on July Uprising Day, various online banking services, including ATMs and CRMs, will continue to function.
