Government debt securities are less preferred - The amount of investment in the primary market has decreased by 24%!
The demand to purchase treasury bills or bonds, which are otherwise called debt securities issued by the Bank of Albania or financial institutions, is increasingly decreasing.
According to data from the AFSA, over the past year, the amount of investments by individuals in these two financial instruments has decreased by about 24% compared to 2023, reaching a value of 28.5 billion lek.
Treasury bills, which have short-term maturities of up to 1 year, bear the brunt of this decline.
According to AFSA figures, the amount of investments in the primary market has decreased by 23.2%, reaching 22.7 billion lek.
Meanwhile, the value invested in bonds, which have maturities ranging from 5 to 30 years, has decreased by 26%, reaching a value of 5.8 billion lek.
Treasury bills remain the most preferred, as the impact from interest rates is low due to the short maturity.
On the other hand, bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates.
