The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan has decided to extend the New Year holidays in 2026 until January 12.
Previously, the Ministry of Labor proposed to move the working days of January 8 and 9 to other Saturdays — February 7 and April 25, respectively.
The ministry explained that this measure is aimed at more effective use of holiday days, as well as creating comfortable social and economic conditions at the beginning of the new year.
According to the information from the ministry, the extension of the holidays pursues several goals:
— to reduce the level of seasonal illnesses, which typically increase at the beginning of January;
— to provide parents the opportunity to rest together with their children, as school winter holidays also end on January 12;
— to support domestic tourism and small businesses during the peak winter season;
— to reduce the load on the energy system and utility services amid electricity shortages in winter.
