His Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar have published the accounts of all Government owned companies and Gibraltar Savings Bank owned companies, which are now freely available online in keeping with the directive given by the Chief Minister immediately following the Government’s re-election.

This directive superseded the GSLP / Liberal manifesto commitment, which in the early hours of the morning of 13th October 2023 became the policy of His Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar, to publish the accounts of all Government owned companies within 12 months of the General Election.

The accounts were all published on the Government website on 2nd April 2024, marginally delayed by 1st April being the Easter Monday Bank Holiday, and are free to access at: https://www.gibraltar.gov.gi/treasury-department1/government-owned-companies

The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo KC MP, said: ‘I’m delighted that the accounts of all Government owned companies are now freely available online, and will be updated on an annual basis with the latest information available or as the audits are completed. This is a level of Government transparency never enjoyed before in Gibraltar, and will provide an extra layer of assurance to the people of Gibraltar that they should not believe the hypocrisy and lies of those who dare to insinuate that there is something to hide, because there isn’t.

‘Significant work has been done by this Government over a number of years to reconstruct the accounts it inherited from the former GSD administration, who failed to comply even with the laws that they themselves published that required companies to file accounts. I’m grateful to the Treasury for their work in expediting the publication of these accounts, fulfilling our manifesto commitment in half the time that was originally promised.

‘The GSLP/Liberal Government made a binding commitment to the people of Gibraltar on transparency, democracy and reform, and that is exactly what we will deliver.’
