The proposal which raises the existing guarantee from $95 million to $200 million will be tabled in Parliament for approval.
The government has a history of supporting FSC’s domestic and off-shore borrowings with the most recent guarantee of $75 million approved by Parliament in July 2022, covering the period from 1 August 2022 to 31 May 2028.

This limit was later increased to $95 million in May 2024.
