The Central Bank of Egypt operates the EGP RTGS system on bank business days. The workweek is Sunday through Thursday; weekend is Friday-Saturday under the Labour Law (Law 12 of 2003). EGX (Egyptian Exchange) trades Sunday through Thursday. The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) regulates non-banking financial services and listed-entity disclosures. Social Insurance Authority (NOSI) monthly contributions accompany payroll.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many business days are in April 2028 for Egyptian national?
April 2028 has 18 working days under the Egyptian national holiday calendar. The month spans 30 calendar days, of which 10 fall on a weekend and 2 are Egyptian national holidays that lands on a weekday. The remaining 18 weekdays are countable as working days for invoicing, deadline tracking, and contract math.
Which Egypt holidays affect April 2028?
April 2028 contains 2 Egyptian national holidays: Sham El Nessim on Monday, April 17; Sinai Liberation Day on Tuesday, April 25. Banks and Egypt financial markets close on each of these days. Regional or industry-specific closures may add further non-working days for narrower contract definitions; layer them into the calculator's Advanced options if needed.
Why are there so many Egyptian national holidays?
Egypt observes 16 to 17 public holidays per year, the highest in the Arab world. The calendar combines civil holidays (Revolution Day on January 25, Sinai Liberation Day, Labour Day, June 30 Revolution Day, the 1952 Revolution Day on July 23, Armed Forces Day on October 6), religious holidays from the Islamic lunar calendar (Eid al-Fitr 3 days, Arafat Day, Eid al-Adha 3 days, Islamic New Year, Mawlid al-Nabawi), Coptic Christianity (Coptic Christmas on January 7), and the cultural Sham El Nessim (the Monday after Coptic Easter, dating back to pharaonic times). Many of these close banks, the EGX, and government offices fully.
How are Islamic lunar holidays handled in the calculator?
Egyptian Islamic holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Arafat Day, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, Mawlid al-Nabawi) follow the Hijri (Islamic) lunar calendar and are gazetted by Egyptian Cabinet decree shortly before they fall, based on the official moon sighting by Dar al-Iftaa al-Misriyyah. For years where the official decree has not yet been published, this calculator's data uses astronomical calculations and tags the entries with '(approximate)'. The actual gazetted date may shift by one day from the astronomical prediction. The 2024 Egyptian Cabinet also rationalised some long-weekend bridges by adjusting working days around Sham El Nessim and Sinai Liberation Day.
Why does the business-day count vary year to year?
Two things shift the monthly count for Egypt. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Egyptian national holidays anchored to a fixed date shift their weekday across years. Some years a fixed-date holiday lands on a weekend; some countries shift the observance to an adjacent weekday and some absorb it into the weekend. April 2027 had 22 working days, so April 2028 has 4 fewer working days year over year.
