EGP — Egypt (EGX/CBE) Holidays

  • Standard: ISO 4217 EGP
  • Category: Central Bank/Settlement
  • Sibling calendars: EG (national) — EGP omits Arafat Day, for 16 holidays vs. EG's 17.
  • Service class: HolidayCalendarServiceEGP (org.holiday.calendar.impl, module org.holiday.calendar.mena)

Weekend & Date Roll

  • Weekend days: Friday+Saturday (GCC market convention)
  • Roll strategy: DateRolls.noRoll() — settlement requires both counterparties to be available on the same calendar date; no roll-forward convention
  • Rollability exceptions: all 16 holidays are rollable(false), consistent with the no-roll strategy

Holidays

Shares EG's holidays minus Arafat Day (16 of 17) — see EG.md for the full table and Sham El-Nessim's algorithmic-computation notes.

Early Closes

Not applicable — EGP carries no EARLY_CLOSE entries.

Notes of Interest

Arafat Day is a confirmed, deliberate exclusion — a national public holiday that isn't a settlement closure day. Per this project's own implementation comment: "Arafat Day is excluded from this calendar: it is a national public holiday but is not an EGX / CBE settlement closure day." This is the same "9 Dhu al-Hijjah is a national holiday somewhere but not a settlement holiday" pattern seen with a few other pairs in this codebase, but here it's explicitly one holiday fewer on the settlement side rather than a rollability-only difference.

Sources

  • The Arafat Day exclusion rationale is documented directly in this project's own source comments (EgyptHolidays.java, HolidayCalendarServiceEGP.java); no official CBE/EGX primary-source page was independently captured with a stable citation URL in this pass
  • See EG.md for sourcing on the shared holidays
