Vietnam Business Slowdown Expected on Friday April 27

Sources: Thanh Nien and Vietnam public holidays. A combination of calendrical coincidences, and the weather, make it quite likely that business life will shift into low gear tomorrow, Friday, April 27, 2007. First, from April 26 to May 1, there are 6 days, 2 of which are weekend days, and 3 of which are public holidays (April 26, April 30 and May 1), which leaves only tomorrow, April 27 as a possible working day. However, the celebrations for the Hung Kings new public holiday on April 26 are set to last 2 days (although the official public holiday only lasts one day), and to top it all, weather forecasts for this potentially very long weekend all predict balmy weather.
