Public holidays per year (Nager.Date). Statutory paid annual leave is not included — it is a separate field we do not publish yet.

How to read this figure

Distinct nationwide public holiday DATES this calendar year — regional holidays excluded, observances (name days, Mother’s Day and the like) excluded, and two holidays on one date counted once. The calendar comes from Nager.Date, which is community-maintained rather than an official register, so we bound-check every count (5–30 days) and refuse anything outside it. Treat it as indicative, not as a legal source, and note it says nothing about statutory vacation days.
