Shomporko Desk:-Bangladesh Bank has extended the operational hours of the banks by one hour during the extended general holidays until April 9.
Economists expect the number of people filing for initial unemployment benefits to continue to climb as more struggling workers and businesses access benefits, thanks to the federal government casting a much wider social safety net to try and blunt the economic fallout of the virus crisis.
As per the new timetable, selective branches of the scheduled banks will now remain open from 10 am to 3 pm with the transaction period from 10 am to 1 pm. A circular, issued by the Department of Off-site Supervision of the Bangladesh Bank on Thursday, said that that the exiting bank operation hours were re-fixed following the government’s extension of general holidays up to April 9.
