The Saturday Labour Day and Saturday Christmas Day cost two working-day savings compared with a non-weekend year. Treasury teams running MEPS+ settlement should expect a busier Q1 because of the early Chinese New Year on Saturday 6 February and the Sunday-Monday in-lieu pattern.
How many gazetted public holidays does Singapore have in 2027?
Singapore observes 11 gazetted public holidays in 2027 under the Holidays Act. Two land on Saturday (Labour Day on 1 May and Christmas Day on 25 December), so the calendar loses two working-day savings to weekend collisions. Chinese New Year Day 2 and Hari Raya Haji both fall on Sunday and trigger Monday in-lieu observance, so the calendar shows the Monday dates.
How many working days does Singapore have in 2027?
Singapore has 253 working days in 2027 on the Monday-to-Friday count. The two Saturday-falling holidays push the working-day total slightly higher than 2026, while the two Sunday in-lieu shifts keep the total flat against weekend-only loss.
Are 2027 lunar and Islamic dates final?
MOM publishes the upcoming year's gazetted holidays around mid-2026. The Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Chinese New Year, Vesak Day, and Deepavali entries are tagged approximate until the official gazette lands. Verify against MOM before pinning a legally critical deadline.
