The list of public holidays for the year 2022 was approved in the Cabinet meeting held at the Prime Minister's Office on Monday, October 31, 2022. These holidays shall be applicable for all government, semi-government, statutory and autonomous organizations of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. After the meeting, the Cabinet Secretary Khandkar Anwarul Islam briefed the reporters everything at the Bangladesh Secretariat.

From the press conference it was apparent that like the current year, the year 2023 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, 08 (eight) days, out of the 22 holidays will be on the weekly holidays. However, in the previous year, 06 (six) 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:
