KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has declared a three-day holiday from June 17th to 19th, 2024, in observance of Eid-ul-Adha.
This decision was communicated through a press release issued by the central bank, stating, “The State Bank of Pakistan will remain closed from Monday to Wednesday, June 17-19, 2024, on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha.”
Following this directive from the central bank, all financial institutions, including banks nationwide, will also be closed during this period.
This announcement follows the federal government’s declaration of a three-day country-wide holiday for Eid ul Adha from June 17th to 19th, which was approved after a summary forwarded by the Cabinet Division to the Prime Minister.
Eid ul Adha in Pakistan will be celebrated on June 17th, following the sighting of the Zil Hajj moon on June 7th last week.
