Overview

• Jefatura de Gabinete’s Resolution 139/2025, enabled by Decree 614/2025, transfers the Oct. 12 holiday to Friday, Oct. 10.
• Friday is a national feriado rather than an optional non-working day, and employees who work must be paid double under Law 20.744.
• The Central Bank set in-branch closures for the long weekend, while digital banking channels remain available.
• Sunday, Oct. 12 no longer carries holiday status, and several Buenos Aires municipalities declared Monday, Oct. 13 a local asueto, extending the break locally to four days.
• The administration is reverting the holiday’s name to “Día de la Raza,” a change reported by officials and covered by national media.
