Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world will be officially off for 7 days to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr festival from 08 – 15 April 2024. However, as reported earlier, the majority of local converters will progressively wind down operations beginning 03 April 2024, to give employees an additional week off before the celebration.

“After weighing all options, we don’t think it’s strategic to cut on our offerings as the market is rather quiet now as most are in holiday spirit already. We do anticipate buying sentiment to pick up post-holiday as it has been a while since customers made significant purchases,” shared a market player.
