The Bangladesh Bank said in a circular that branches at commercial zones across the country and adjacent to shopping malls will operate during the three days ahead of the official Eid vacation.

The decision came in response to demand raised by the apex trade body Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBBCI), said the central bank statement.

In a previous order, the central bank had instructed branches at industrial zones, especially those with apparel factories, to operate on Jul 2, 3 and that banks will remain closed on Jul 4.
