The Indonesian government has officially designated 18 national holidays and eight collective leave days for 2027.

The decision was set through a Joint Ministerial Decree (SKB) issued by the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, the Minister of Religious Affairs, the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform, and the Minister of Manpower. The decree was signed at the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture office in Central Jakarta.

Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Pratikno said the decision on national holidays had been discussed and deliberated at a ministerial-level meeting.

“So, we have agreed that the number of national holidays is 18 days in 2027, the majority of which are religious observances. Then, the number of collective leave days in 2027 is eight days. So, there are 18 national holidays and eight collective leave days,” he said.
