UTC Offset: UTC +9 |
Palau Time (PWT) operates at UTC+9 hours year-round, with no daylight saving time adjustments. Sometimes called "Palau Standard Time," PWT is the official time zone of the Republic of Palau, a Pacific island nation, providing a stable and consistent time reference across all its islands.
Importance and Global Use of PWT
PWT is essential for managing government services, community activities, and the economy in Palau. Its fixed UTC+9 offset supports smooth scheduling for transport, public administration, education, and tourism, helping keep daily life and commerce running reliably across the country.
Internationally, Palau Time helps coordinate trade, travel, and diplomatic relations with Asia-Pacific partners and other global networks. The consistent time zone makes it easier to align with nearby countries such as Japan and the Philippines, strengthening regional cooperation and international connectivity.
