The Slovak government sold 417 million euros worth of retail bonds to individual investors this year through its "Bonds for People" program. The initiative, which allows ordinary citizens to purchase government debt directly, raised 500 million euros in its pilot year in 2023. The program represents Slovakia's effort to diversify its funding sources by tapping into domestic savings while offering citizens a government-backed investment option amid volatile financial markets.
