Rollover offer for 62+ Malta Government Savings Bond - Issue 2019

The Government of Malta has announced a rollover offer to all existing holders of the maturing 62+ Malta Government Savings Bond (MGSB) – Issue 2019 (Maturing Bond) to rollover all their holdings into a new 62+ Malta Government Savings Bonds – Issue 2024 (New Bond) with effect from the 20th of March 2024.

Existing Bondholders of the 62+ MGSB – 2019 electing to rollover their holdings in the New Bond shall be allocated the same nominal value they held in the Maturing Bond in the new 62+ MGSB – Issue 2024. The New Bond shall be issued with the same terms as the existing 62+ MGSB – Issue 2019 save for the interest rate which shall be 3.35% per annum fixed for the 5-Year term.

Before deciding whether to roll over or not please keep in mind the following:

  1. When the maturing 62+ Malta Government Savings Bonds 2024 were issued in 2024, these bonds offered a significant premium in the interest that you could earn versus what was available in the market at that time in 2019.   
  2. Today the interest rate environment is significantly different with government bonds now yielding a similar amount to these bonds, with the added benefit that the government bonds are liquid, in other words you could exit or enter freely whereas the 62+ bonds are tied up for the full 5 years and cannot be traded in the meantime.  If you are interested in learning about the alternatives, please do not hesitate to contact us.
