Local business guidance
Sunday to Thursday Workweek
Bangladesh observes Sunday through Thursday as its official working days. Friday and Saturday form the weekend, so public offices and banks are closed on these days.
Friday Prayer Pause
On Fridays, many private shops, markets, and eateries pause operations between 12:30 and 14:00 for Jummah prayers before resuming evening operations.
Zonal Market Off-Days
Retail markets and shopping centers in Dhaka observe staggered weekly off-days assigned by zone, such as Tuesdays in Mirpur or Elephant Road, and Wednesdays in New Market.
Ramadan and Festival Schedule Shifts
During Holy Ramadan, public offices shorten working hours (often 09:00 to 15:30), while retail and dining hours shift heavily toward late evening and night trading.
Banking vs Office Hours
Although bank administrative staff work from 10:00 to 16:00 or 17:00, public counter cash and cheque transaction services close strictly at 15:00.
