The start of Ramadan marks the beginning of the Islamic holy month of fasting, which is observed as a public holiday in Brunei Darussalam. During this month, the pace of economic activity often shifts, with reduced working hours in both the public and private sectors. In Brunei, the first day is a formal holiday, meaning the central bank and financial institutions are closed, affecting the release of any scheduled economic indicators.
The date is determined by the sighting of the new moon (crescent) according to the Islamic lunar calendar. Therefore, the exact date varies each year relative to the Gregorian calendar.
