Prices of Malta Government Stocks climbed markedly amid renewed uncertainties over Brexit. Although UK Prime Minster Boris Johnson managed to secure Parliamentary support for the revised Brexit deal with the EU, British lawmakers also decided not to support the proposed timetable for Brexit to take place at the end of this month thus also triggering snap election and/or second referendum fears.
