Won’t that be better for country’s economy and convenient for the people.

Markets are made up of people, the more the better. Markets with few participants are more volatile with less liquidity (money) and amplifying bad information. 

Trading off hours is possible with stocks but it’s rarely a good idea and almost no one does it.
