	📆 '''Year 2026''' is the calendar year from January 1 to December 31, 2026.

Where financial years end elsewhere, as in much of corporate Japan with its March year-ends, the same label attaches to a different twelve months.		📆 '''Year 2026''' is the calendar year from January 1 to December 31, 2026.

📆 '''Year 2026''' is the calendar year from January 1 to December 31, 2026.
