Malta’s Future Realised: Robert Abela Charts the Path to Long-Term Prosperity

Prime Minister Robert Abela outlines Malta’s bold economic and social ambitions under Malta Vision 2050 — a people-driven strategy for growth, prosperity, and national unity.

Prime Minister Robert Abela reaffirmed his Government’s commitment to building a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous Malta during the opening of the “Malta Future Realised 2025” conference organised by EY.

Dr Abela emphasised that with Malta’s economy now on solid ground, the next phase is focused on achieving three ambitious goals outlined in Malta Vision 2050: ranking among the world’s top ten in human development, raising household income 15% above the EU average, and ensuring that life satisfaction in Malta ranks among the highest in Europe.

The EY Attractiveness Survey confirmed Malta’s growing economic appeal — investor confidence now stands at 79%, the highest in nearly a decade. “While many global economies face decline, Malta’s story remains one of resilience and growth,” the Prime Minister noted, adding that international rating agencies continue to reaffirm their trust in Malta’s economic stability.

Dr Abela proudly highlighted that Malta’s economy is now one-third larger than it was before the pandemic, while unemployment has fallen by a third. Nearly two-thirds of investors plan to stay in Malta for at least ten years, and nine out of ten companies intend to maintain or expand their operations locally — clear proof of the country’s enduring strength.

“By adopting progressive economic policies, we have safeguarded our families and businesses while maintaining the country’s productive capacity,” he said.

Looking ahead, Dr Abela announced that the Malta Vision 2050 strategy will be launched early next year — a people-driven, forward-looking roadmap that transcends political divisions and sets the course for lasting prosperity in Malta and Gozo.

🇲🇹 A confident Malta. A united vision. A future realised.
