The Ministry for Finance and Employment on Tuesday announced that Malta received the second tranche of €123 million nominal in financial support in the form of a loan given on favourable terms under the SURE Instrument from the European Commission.
The financial support is specifically targeted to assist member states to address sudden increases in public expenditure in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. It was designed to preserve employment, including self-employment and other related measures.
