Remarks: 

The cancellation of financial institutions and special financial institutions’ holidays: 
1. The Mid-Year Closing Day holiday (1st July) is canceled from B.E. 2562 (2019) onwards.
2. For Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, the additional holiday (1st April) is canceled from B.E. 2565 (2022) onwards.

 As financial institutions now have a more efficient financial statement system, which can be operated without affecting the services on all channels of financial institutions, it is not necessary to prescribe as a financial institutions and special financial institutions’ holiday anymore.
