Bank Holiday Announced in Pakistan on 5 February 2024

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced a bank holiday on 5 February 2024 (Monday) on the occasion of Kashmir Day.

In a notification, a banking regulator stated, “The State Bank of Pakistan will remain closed on 5th February, 2024 (Monday) being public holiday on the occasion of “Kashmir Day” as declared by the Government of Pakistan.”

As the bank holiday falls on Monday, it means that banks across the country will remain closed for three consecutive days.

The Federal Government has already announced a public holiday on Monday on account of Kashmir day with a minute of silence to be observed exactly at 1000 hours to honor the Kashmiri Shuhada.
