In response, there is some consternation in the business community about the impacts of a day off at such short notice. Similarly the big question for readers of The Motley Fool will be whether the ASX will be open for trade that day. The ASX is sorting it out An ASX Ltd (ASX: ASX) spokesperson told The Motley Fool that an official announcement about 22 September will be coming soon. “ASX is ordinarily closed on national public holidays. We expect that to be the case on the 22nd too,” said the spokesperson. “However, given the circumstances of this public holiday, there are some logistic and technical matters that we’re working through at the moment, including with customers, before we can confirm.” Like many retail and hospitality businesses trying to work out the legal and payroll consequences of a public holiday declared only 11 days in advance, the ASX is apparently also scrambling. The Motley Fool will update this article as soon as official confirmation comes either way. More to come.
