Under Law No. 24 of 2023, the nation’s legal time is advanced by one hour starting from the last Friday of April through the final Thursday of October each year.
According to the statutory schedule, clocks will be adjusted forward from 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM on the morning of Friday, April 24. This synchronized shift will remain in place for exactly six months, concluding on the last Thursday of October 2026.
