The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) in Peru has clarified its criteria regarding the rescheduling of public holidays, establishing that holidays falling on a Saturday or Sunday will not be moved to a Monday.
Initially, the proposal suggested moving holidays to Fridays, but the Minister of Economy and Finances subsequently corrected this during a press conference and a later interview with Canal N, indicating a preference for moving them to Mondays instead. Under this newly detailed criterion linked to a government measure sought for approval in 2027, seven holidays are slated to be shifted to Mondays.
The initiative, associated with an effort by the administration of Keiko Fujimori to be approved this year, directly impacts workers in Peru by altering the calendar structure for the upcoming years to manage holiday placements.
