📰 News

Recent political instability has impacted the country's governance and economy. In November 2024, authorities announced the creation of a morality police to enforce social rules, which could have implications for workplace conduct. The first presidential election, originally scheduled for December 2021, has been postponed indefinitely.

💡 Insights

The typical work week runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend, aligning with the Islamic day of congregational prayer. During the holy month of Ramadan, working hours are often reduced for Muslim employees. The country has a tradition of strong tribal allegiances, which can influence workplace culture.
