In a statement issued on Friday, the central bank declared that all commercial banks, development finance institutions (DFIs), and microfinance banks (MFBs) in Pakistan will remain closed for public dealing on the first day of Ramadan.

While banks will be closed for public dealings, all employees of these institutions are required to attend the office as usual, treating the bank holiday as a normal working day.
