Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays are there in Bangladesh in 2024?
23 days on the government list (some fall on Fridays or Saturdays, the weekly holidays).
Why can Eid dates change?
Islamic holidays follow the lunar Hijri calendar and are fixed after the national moon-sighting committee meets, so the actual date can move by a day.
What is the difference between general and executive-order holidays?
General holidays are fixed by the government’s annual list for everyone; executive-order holidays are additional days announced by order, mainly for government offices.
