US news: The United States' Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has pushed out its federal holiday schedule for the New Year 2025, marking 11 days as public holidays throughout the year, according to a report by USA Today.

Notably, the US usually has 12 listed federal holidays in a calendar year, but this time, both Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Junior Day are both being celebrated on January 20, it added. Further, January 9, which has been declared as a day of mourning for deceased former US President Jimmy Carter has also not been included in the OPM list, as per the report.

A federal holiday will mean that all federal offices, banks, financial markets and schools will be closed on the dates listed in the 2025 holiday calendar.
