Thailand’s banks and the stock exchange will open as usual Friday as the government hasn’t requested they close following the death of the nation’s king.

“We will open as usual unless they subsequently ask us to close,” Stock Exchange of Thailand President Kesara Manchusree said late Thursday by phone from Bangkok.
