The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) will operate the Colombo bourse with restricted trading hours for the remaining working days of the week.

The capital market operator in a notice announced that a decision has been made to limit the trading hours from 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. The limited hours are imposed for 31 March, and 1 April 2022.

The decision was made due to the difficulties faced by Investors and other stakeholders to access and operate the market as a result of the prevailing power cuts, the CSE said.
