Malta Vision 2050: A Blueprint For The Future

Apr 8 2025

Malta Vision 2050 is a national strategy designed to shape the country’s long-term development.

It aligns Malta’s sectoral strategies under a single framework with measurable targets set for 2035 and beyond, guiding progress toward 2050.

This vision is vital to ensure that Malta’s policies respond to current realities and future challenges, promoting sustainability, resilience, and a better quality of life in line with European and global trends.

Despite Malta’s strong economic and social progress, global shifts—such as climate change, technological innovation, and demographic transitions—demand a unified and forward-thinking approach.

Malta Vision 2050 emerged through an extensive process, reviewing over 30 national strategies and 1,800 initiatives, engaging 400+ businesses and key stakeholders, and drawing inspiration from countries like Denmark, Ireland, and Singapore.

The Vision’s core objective is to build a future-ready, inclusive, and competitive society through four strategic pillars: Sustainable Economic Growth, Accessible, Citizen-Centred Services, Resilience & Education, and Smart Land & Sea Usage.

These are supported by enablers such as digital transformation, progressive governance, strategic funding, and national branding.

Importantly, Malta is moving beyond GDP as the sole measure of progress.

The Vision promotes broader well-being indicators, including education quality, healthcare outcomes, income levels, and community strength.

Implementation will be centrally led, with a Project Management Office overseeing execution, real-time KPIs for accountability, and national outreach planned for 2025 to ensure public involvement and alignment.

Apr 8 2025

Responding to a question tabled in parliament, Minister Byron Camilleri revealed that €3.25 million is spent every year for food for Corradino Correctional Facility.

This, the Minister said, comprises not just the expense of the contractor who provides the daily food, but even the buying of other items like fruit.

As of February 2025, there were 724 inmates at Corradino Correctional Facility. 665 of these were reported to have been men, whereas 59 were women.

One needs to keep in mind, the Minister said, that the amount of prisoners changes continuously.

The Minister also revealed that the food arrives half cooked from the contractor and the rest takes place in prison so that the food is served fresh.

Dietary and medical restrictions are also taken into consideration, with fruit being served three times a week.

The type of food is inspected by prison directors before it is served.
