The new timing for all stock exchanges in the country will be from 9:30am to 1:50pm starting from Wednesday, said a BSEC press release issued on Tuesday.

A 10-minute post-closing session will continue after the transactions. In that case, the post-closing session will be from 1:50pm to 2:00 pm.

Earlier on Monday, the government fixed new office hours for all government and autonomous institutions, from 8:00am to 3:00pm, to tackle the ongoing energy crisis.

The decision will come into effect from Wednesday.
