In May 2024, the Directorate of Loans and Debt Management in the Ministry of Finance established an Investor Relations Unit (IRU), committed to providing accurate and verified information on government borrowing and debt to the general public and financial markets. The IRU aims to improve communication with investors by providing key economic, financial, and policy information on debt management, obtaining market intelligence relevant to debt management, and developing and implementing funding strategies and broader financial sector policy.
The Investor Relations website serves as a single entry point to a wide range of information primarily disseminated by the Ministry of Finance Debt Management Office. The objectives of the IRU are to control the flow of information between investors, financial institutions, and other stakeholders to lower the costs and risks of the country’s debt, maintain contact with market participants to address concerns and questions regarding recent debt and economic developments and policies and maintain a website dedicated to providing current debt and macroeconomic statistics and policy information related to fiscal, monetary, and debt management policies.
