Stock exchange to stay shut May 25-31 for Eid-ul-Azha

Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) will remain closed from May 25 to 31 in observance of Eid-ul-Azha holidays following the government's declaration of May 25 as an additional public holiday, the bourses said in a press release on Tuesday, reports UNB.

The government's order extends the Eid-ul-Azha vacation period by one day, prompting DSE and CSE to adjust its trading calendar accordingly. However, in a notable deviation from the usual weekend schedule, both trading and official activities at the Exchange will remain fully operational on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, as per regular office and trading hours, in compliance with the government directive.

Normal trading and administrative operations are set to resume on Monday, June 1, following the extended holiday break.

Market participants and investors are advised to plan their transactions accordingly ahead of the closure.
