28 public holidays for 2026 approved
The advisory council, chaired by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, today approved the list of official public holidays for the coming year.
The government sanctioned 28 days of leave for 2026, comprising both general and executive order holidays, excluding the regular weekly days off. Nine of these approved days, however, fall on weekends.
Announcing the approval at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in Bailey Road in the capital, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said the advisory council gave final approval to the Logistics Policy 2025.
The policy is expected to boost investment from both the private and foreign sectors in the logistics industry and significantly enhance Bangladesh's export competitiveness compared to rivals.
