The Holidays database extends over 90 years into the future for over 690 financial Centers around the world. It lists bank, stock exchange and other holidays. The underlying data can be licensed from us, or you can use the functionality contained in the Real-time Analytics service on this site to retrieve holiday and date-related information using a web browser.

International standard

The Calendar is the international standard for holiday data. It’s used by hundreds of financial institutions around the world, including 38 of the top 40 derivatives dealers.

Benefits

Customers obtain two main benefits from the Calendar. First, they save vast amounts of time and money by outsourcing the data gathering and maintenance process. Second, they spend far less time arguing with counterparties about holiday dates, because in most cases the counterparty also uses the Calendar—in other words, when two people both use the same dictionary, they won’t waste time arguing about spelling.

Constant updating

We monitor holidays on a daily basis and implement changes immediately after they have been identified and confirmed. Holidays require constant monitoring because they change so frequently. For the latest statistics on holiday changes, click here.

Expertise

We've been publishing far-forward calendars since 1992, and have acquired enormous expertise on the subject. Prior to publication, the holiday information is subject to extensive review and cross-check. We verify all holidays and consult with hundreds of sources. The Financial Calendar is the most accurate source of holiday information on the market today. For a description of why holidays are so complicated, click here.
