Breaking: Gozitans Happier Than Maltese

A big rise in happiness has been revealed in this year’s State of the Nation survey – and Gozo is leading the way!

In 2025, 72.1% of people said they are happy with their life. That’s a jump of 6.6% from last year. And guess what? Gozitans are the happiest of all, with a massive 82.8% saying they feel good about their lives.

But that’s not all. This year also saw the highest number of people ever saying they feel successful. A huge 73.9% of people said they feel they have succeeded in life. Even more shocking, over 90% of those who pay the highest income tax said they feel successful – an incredible 90.4%!

The survey also found that more people believe they’ll be living a better life within a year. In 2023, only 39.1% believed that. Now in 2025, that number has grown to 47%.

Young people are the most hopeful. An unbelievable 79.1% of young people think their life will get better in the next 12 months.

The survey, revealed today at Verdala Palace under the patronage of President Myriam Spiteri Debono, was led by consultant Lou Bondi and statistician Vincent Marmara.

This report shows something clear: more people are smiling, dreaming, and believing in a better future.
