Malta’s economic growth will continue to outperform its Eurozone peers and public finances will continue to improve

Fitch’s assessment report noted, inter alia, the solid foundations and high liquidity in Malta capital markets and acknowledged Malta’s strong economic growth on the back of falling unemployment, lower energy costs and steady credit growth. Fitch projects that this economic performance will persist in the coming years underpinned by strong investment, sustained growth in services sectors and a structural shift in the economy towards higher value-added activities.
