Key facts for Bangladesh
Christmas is a public holiday, but Eid is the main gifting season.
How companies in Bangladesh give year-end gifts
In Bangladesh, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are the main occasions for corporate gifts and staff bonuses. Pohela Boishakh, the Bengali New Year in April, and Durga Puja for Hindu colleagues are also marked. Christmas is a public holiday and is celebrated by the Christian minority, but it is not a general business gifting occasion. International partners often receive New Year greetings. Food gifts should be halal and must not include alcohol. English is widely used in business correspondence. Corporate gifts are typically sweets, dry fruits and hampers, and many companies also give gifts at the end of the financial year. Gifts are given with the right hand or both hands. Courier transit and customs clearance can be slow, so allow extra time and keep packaging robust, as heat and humidity can affect food items.
