Nearly 80% Of Foreign Investors See Malta As Prime Investment Destination

At the Malta Future Realised 2025 conference organised by EY, it was revealed that investor confidence in Malta has soared to 79%, the highest level in nearly a decade.

Prime Minister Robert Abela highlighted three key national targets in line with the upcoming Malta Vision 2050: placing Malta among the world’s top ten countries for human development, ensuring household incomes exceed the European average by 15%, and ranking among the highest in Europe for life satisfaction.

“Rating agencies, one after the other, have reaffirmed their confidence in Malta, maintaining positive ratings for our country,” the Prime Minister said, pointing to a one-third expansion of the economy since the pandemic and a significant drop in jobseekers.

At the same conference, William Spiteri Bailey, Malta Chamber President, advised that Malta must meet global disruption with clarity, resilience, and ambition. Addressing business leaders, he warned that decisions made today will shape the nation’s economic future for decades.

Highlighting trade fragmentation, Europe’s industrial reset, and the rise of artificial intelligence, Spiteri Bailey said the global economy’s foundations are “shifting before our eyes.”

He urged Malta to seize the moment by investing in strategic projects such as an International Logistics Hub to secure the island’s long-term competitiveness.

“The world is not waiting for Malta to catch up,” concluded Spiteri Bailey, “Our competitiveness, our credibility, and our quality of life depend on the actions we take now. Together, we can turn uncertainty into opportunity and ensure that Malta’s future is not only realised – but secured.”
