Re.. bugs in SouthKorea calendar

Big-Boong

Dear Konstantin:

>day (possibly in other years too). Bloomberg CDR SK reports these days as
>settlement days.

5th April had been a national holiday up to 2005 as Arbor Day, but not a holiday since 2006.

In addtion, 17th July had been a national holiday up to 2007 as Constitution Day,

where it will not be a holiday from this year, 2008.

 

These changes need to be updated in QuantLib, for the effects are going to be continued.

I wish Luigi recognise these matters.

There could be add-hoc holidays on every market. In South Korea, 19th December, 2007 was the election day for the presidency (holiday). 9th April, 2008, will be the election day for the assembly (holiday).

Sure. I'll make the changes for next release.

Ok.

I think I did before last release, but probably the 2008 calendar on
the KRX site wasn't updated yet. I'll check it again.

Thanks,
