MSE Daily Trading Report, 09 February, 2021
| MSE Equity Total Return Index | 8,176.137 points | -0.67% |
|---|---|---|
| MSE Malta Government Stocks Total Return Index | 1,154.724 points | 0.01% |
| MSE Corporate Bonds Total Return Index | 1,100.710 points | 0.20% |
- The best performers were Lombard Bank Malta plc (+14.1%) and Main Street Complex plc (+1.6%).
- The worst performers were International Hotel Investments plc (-3.7%), Malta International Airport plc (-2.4%) and Bank of Valletta plc (-1.5%).
- Bank of Valletta plc was the most liquid as it generated a total turnover of €25,180. Five deals involving 27,030 shares were executed.
- Malta International Airport plc (MIA) published the traffic results for January.
- MIA started what is set to be another challenging year for the aviation industry with a drop of 90.7% in January passenger traffic.
- During the month of January, 38,938 passengers travelled through MIA, with this monthly total being comparable to the traffic handled by the airport in three days in January 2020.
- The airport’s weakest traffic result since its reopening in July 2020 comes in the wake of the implementation of new travel bans and more stringent requirements in source markets such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium.
- Malta International Airport registered significant drops in January weekly flight frequencies. From among Malta International Airport’s top airports for the month, Rome Fiumicino was hit hardest, as the 27 weekly flights operated in January 2020 were whittled down to just eight last month.
- Changing travel requirements and restrictions also had an impact on overall connectivity, with MIA’s direct connections being limited to just 28 scheduled routes in January 2021 as opposed to 99 scheduled routes operated in January 2020.
