The last item on BBC Radio news magazine programme "PM" yesterday (Friday) is about the possibility of a Bank Holiday being granted if the England Men's team win the UEFA European Football Championship. The programme is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0020y7k the segment about Bank Holidays begins about five minutes from the end: the story of the UEFA final begins a little earlier.

In the discussion, it is taken as a given that Bank Holidays are bad for the economy yet Argentina promotes bank holidays because they stimulate the economy. Recently Argentina even had three Bank Holidays in one week.

So, who's right? Are Bank Holidays good or bad for the economy? Or are they perhaps both good and bad in different ways?
