Bangladesh Bank has postponed its planned exchange of new currency notes ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Executive Director and Spokesperson Arif Hossain Khan confirmed, stating that a fresh notification had been issued, revoking the previous directive on new note exchanges, reports media.
However, he did not disclose the reason for the move. As a result, banks will not facilitate the exchange of new notes for customers during this Eid.
In Bangladesh, it is a common tradition for people to collect fresh notes from banks to give as cash gifts, especially to children and loved ones during Eid celebrations.
