Peru plans to move public holidays to Mondays starting in 2027, according to Finance Minister Elmer Cuba. The change aims to create long weekends while avoiding cutting production chains and protecting Saturday business activity. Three holidays - 28 July, Christmas, and New Year - remain unchanged.
