The Malta Stock Exchange (Maltese: Borża ta' Malta), known as the Borża ta' Malta, is the stock exchange of the island nation of Malta. Established in 1992, it is fully owned by the Maltese government.
The Malta Stock Exchange has been key to the raising of capital for the private sector through the issue of corporate bonds and equity while virtually all the national debt of Government of Malta has been issued in the form of Malta Government bonds and treasury bills that are listed and traded on the secondary market. The investor base consists of over 75,000 individual investors, which is a significant number given Malta's economic size (GDP €8,796 million in 2015) and population (434,403 in 2016). The focus of the Malta Stock Exchange is to continue to develop and support the domestic market whilst attracting international companies to list on the Exchange, and enjoy the passportability within the EU that this brings. It has also invested heavily in the use of technology and uses the Xetra trading platform.
