All scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh are ordered to remain closed on Wednesday, 31 December 2025, as a one-day government holiday declared in memory of the late former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. While branches and departments associated with the half-yearly/annual account closing for 2025 may remain open at the bank's discretion, general operations are suspended. This directive follows a memorandum from the Ministry of Public Administration dated 30 December 2025.
