Fiji Prophet Mohammed's Birthday

Fiji Prophet Mohammed's Birthday is a public holiday marking the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, also known as Milad-un-Nabi. It is a religious observance recognized nationally in Fiji, rather than an economic data release. In 2026, the Fiji Government lists the holiday on Monday, 24 August. Because its date follows the Islamic calendar, the Gregorian-calendar observance date can vary from year to year.

A public holiday can reduce local banking, government and business activity. Lower participation may affect FJD-related pricing, liquidity and the timing of domestic transactions.

FJD-related FX pairs

Liquidity and price discovery may be thinner during Fiji business hours.

Local banking and payments

Processing schedules and settlement timing may be affected by holiday arrangements.

Low. Holiday effects depend on the operating arrangements of banks, brokers, exchanges and payment systems. International FX trading remains open, and conditions can differ across venues.

• Check whether relevant banks, payment systems and local counterparties are closed or operating with reduced hours.
• Allow for potentially thinner liquidity and wider spreads during Fiji business hours.
• Confirm the date each year, as the Gregorian observance date can change.
• Distinguish holiday-related trading conditions from economic-news-driven market moves.
