Frequently Asked Questions

Which Qatar holidays affect February 2024?

What is Qatar National Sports Day and when does it fall?
Qatar National Sports Day is observed on the second Tuesday of February under a 2011 Emir's decree. It closes banks, the QSE (Qatar Stock Exchange), government offices, and most private-sector employers, with sports and physical-activity events at workplaces and public venues nationwide. The specific date varies by year: February 13 in 2024, February 11 in 2025, February 10 in 2026. The decree was part of Qatar's national wellness initiative and is unique to Qatar among GCC countries.
How does Qatar's Sunday-Thursday workweek interact with GCC counterparties?
Qatar's workweek of Sunday through Thursday aligns settlement and banking with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman (the GCC members with traditional Sunday-Thursday weeks), but creates a one-day mismatch with UAE counterparties (Monday-Friday since 2022) and a two-day mismatch with European or US counterparties. SEPA Credit Transfer to or from Qatar typically requires two-business-day windows accounting for the working-week offset. The Qatar Central Bank publishes settlement calendars to assist cross-border treasury teams.
Why does the business-day count vary year to year?
Two things shift the monthly count for Qatar. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Qatari public 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. February 2023 had 20 working days, so February 2024 has 1 more working day year over year.
