The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) has announced a reduction in its daily trading hours by 30 minutes in response to the ongoing fuel crisis, aligning its operational schedule with a government directive aimed at conserving energy.
In a notice issued today (4 April), the country’s premier bourse said the revised trading and office hours will come into effect from tomorrow (5 April), and will remain in force until further notice.
The move reflects broader efforts by authorities to manage energy consumption amid concerns over fuel supply constraints and rising global energy prices.
Under the new schedule, DSE office hours will run from 9am to 4pm. The trading session will now begin at 10am and continue until 2pm, shortened from the previous closing time at 2:30pm.
The continuous trading session will take place between 10am and 1:55pm, followed by a five-minute post-closing session from 1:55pm to 2pm.
