Investment in Malta
Malta - Investment
The economic recovery likely remained sluggish in Q3, on the heels of a staggering GDP contraction in Q2 caused by the coronavirus fallout. Although retail sales continued to rise month-on-month in July–August, growth remained only modest. Additionally, while the number of registered unemployed continued to decline from May’s peak through August, the level was still far above pre-crisis figures earlier in the year. This, coupled with consumers remaining deeply pessimistic in September following a spike in infections in the last two months of the quarter, bodes ill for private consumption. In other news, the government presented its 2021 budget to Parliament on 19 October, envisioning a fiscal deficit of 5.9% of GDP. The government’s sound fiscal management has enabled it to extend relief spending, notably the wage supplement, for some time next year.Malta - Investment Data
