The Centre for Economics and Business research have told the 大象传媒 that each bank holiday costs the UK economy 拢2.3bn.
They say that scrapping them altogether would boost annual output in this country by 拢19bn.

The founder of the CEBR has said that if you add up the offices, factories and building sites across the country around 45 percent of the UK economy suffers over bank holidays.
