Personal Savings

The Irish Government personal savings products are an important source of funding for the NTMA, accounting for about 15 per cent on the National Debt at end 2008. Investors in these products are mainly Irish resident individuals. The amount outstanding at 31 December 2008 was €7.5 billion, and this is about 5 per cent of the total value of the Irish personal savings market.

The schemes offer private investors a unique mix of attractive characteristics:

• Government risk
  
  
• No investment costs or commissions
  
  
• Repayment flexibility
  
  
• Competitive rates of return, which are in many cases free of tax

These features account for the continuing success of the schemes as a source of funding for the Agency.
