The cabinet of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh has approved the list of public holidays for the forthcoming year 2021. The approval was given on November 02, 2020 at a virtual meeting of the cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. After the meeting the Cabinet Secretary Khandaker Anwarul Islam briefed about the approved holidays.

Like the current year, the year 2021 will also consist of 22 (twenty two) days of public holidays. Out of total 22 days of holidays, 14 (fourteen) days will be observed as Ordinary Public Holidays while 8 (eight) days will be observed under Executive Order. But unfortunately, 07 (seven) days, out of the 22 holidays will be on the weekly holidays. However, in the previous year, 8 (eight) days, out of the 22 holidays fell on weekly holidays. Here follows a comparative analysis of the public holidays merged by weekends or weekly holidays:
