MALTA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Malta - the smallest economy in the euro zone - produces only about 20% of its food needs, has limited fresh water supplies, and has few domestic energy sources. Malta's geographic position between Europe and North Africa makes it a target for irregular migration, which has strained Malta's political and economic resources. Malta's fertility rate is below the EU average, and population growth in recent years has largely been from immigration, putting increasing pressure on the pension system. Malta adopted the euro on 1 January 2008. Malta's economy is dependent on foreign trade, manufacturing, and tourism. Malta has weathered the Eurozone crisis better than most EU member states due to a low debt-to-GDP ratio and financially sound banking sector. It has low unemployment relative to other European countries, and growth has recovered since the 2009 recession. In 2014, Malta led the Eurozone in growth, expanding by nearly 3.5%. Also in 2014, the government began promoting public-private partnerships in the healthcare sector to establish Malta as a Mediterranean health hub for medical tourism, reduced residential and commercial energy tariffs by 25%, and implemented a citizenship purchase program to increase government revenue and attract foreign investors. The government has implemented new programs, including free child care, to encourage increased labor participation. The high cost of borrowing and small labor market present potential constraints to future economic growth.

Company review: An online news articles dated 25th June 2014, entitled "Actavis invests €13 million in new warehouse facilities" states that: - Pharmaceutical company Actavis Malta today unveiled its state-of-the-art new warehouse at the Bulebel Industrial Estate – signifying an investment of €13 million. The 4,800 square meter structure has a storage capacity of 7,500 pallet positions and includes the use of solar thermal energy and hot water, lighting systems that are controlled according to occupancy and rain water harvesting systems. - The company was in the news for all the wrong reasons back in 2013 after it had to close down its Research and Development section – and lay off 68 employees – following a merger with US giant Watson. But according to company Managing Director Sergio Vella said the company is doing well and is in line with the objectives and targets it had set out.
