New Year 2024 has become a year with long weekend holidays.

That's because most public holidays fall on Fridays or Mondays.

Accordingly, this year there are about 10 long weekends from January.

In 2023, this situation was almost the same.

A few years ago, there were reports in the media that Sri Lanka's gross domestic product (GDP) decreased by 10 percent due to more holidays.
