CBE: Working hours at banks to be from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm

CAIRO - 24 March 2020: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) decided on Tuesday to reduce the working hours of banks operating across the country as part of stepped up measures taken by the Government to contain the coronavirus outbreak.

Banks’ working time will be from 9:30 am to 1.30 pm for the public and from 9:00 am to 2:00 for the staffers, said a statement issued by CBE.

The decision was in line with the prime minister's decision to ban the movement of citizens on roads from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am for two weeks as part of precautionary measures against the coronavirus.
