About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year.

Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.

Japan Standard Time (JST) is the standard time zone for all of Japan. Japan does not observe daylight saving time. JST is 9 hours ahead of UTC and 14 hours ahead of EST. The Tokyo Stock Exchange, the world's third largest by market capitalization, operates on JST. South Korea uses the same offset (KST) but it is a distinct time zone.
