Banks to keep branches open Sunday

Bangladesh Bank has ordered private banks to open some of their branches in Dhaka and Chittagong half day Sunday, although the day falls on a public holiday, following appeals of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA). The central bank sent a circular on the matter to the banks' chief executives Wednesday. According to the order, the foreign exchange branches, branches located at Export Processing Zones (EPZs), land and seaports, and at Customs Houses in the two cities will remain open from 9:00am to 12pm on September 28.
