Business Days in 2028 by Country
In 2028, the number of business days across these twelve economies runs from 239 (China) to 256 (Qatar), a spread of 17 days. The gap follows one thing above all: how many public holidays fall on a working day. Weekend length barely moves it, because every country here loses 104 to 106 days a year to its weekend, whichever two days that weekend is.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and Egypt run a Friday-Saturday weekend rather than Saturday-Sunday. A holiday that lands on a Friday is absorbed into the weekend there, while a holiday on a Sunday, an ordinary workday, still counts. That shifts which dates are off, and it is why two countries with the same holiday count can still differ by a day.
These are national counts. States, provinces, and cantons add their own days on top, lowering the figure locally. See each country's weekend rule and holiday set in the country directory.
