On 28 January 2025, the Ministry for Finance announced that Malta Government Stock (“MGS”) issuance for 2025 will not exceed €1.5 billion. The funds raised will primarily finance the estimated Government deficit of just under €850 million and the redemption of outstanding Government debt of approximately €539 million.

The Treasury Department plans to rely mainly on conventional fixed-rate MGS to meet the Government’s borrowing requirements. Additionally, it aims to spread its issuance programme across three to four offers. The new MGS will include a mix of short-, medium-, and long-term securities. Full details will be announced one to two weeks before each issue.
