Indonesia Announces Public Holidays for 2027

Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs Pratikno has today announced 18 national holidays and eight collective leave days for 2027, as designated in a joint ministerial decision.

“We have agreed to set 18 national holidays in 2027, mostly religious holidays, in addition to eight collective leave days in the same year,” Pratikno stated in a press conference here.

The national holiday designation has considered many factors, including fixed holidays and days needed to facilitate residents’ mobility on religious holidays.

The collective leave days will be mandatory for the civil apparatus, and they will be optional for the private sector, he noted.

According to the joint decision by the Religious Affairs Minister, Manpower Minister, and State Apparatus and Bureaucracy Reform Ministry, the days designated as national holidays and collective leave days in 2027 are as follows:
