Another good result.
S&P Global Ratings confirm our country’s rating and give us a stable outlook, as they believe our newly elected administration will prioritise protecting families and businesses from the effects of the global economic slowdown. - RA

The positive certificates keep coming.
Eurostat today show Malta's GDP growth in 2026 Q1 as 4.3%.
Once again we are best in class. Growing at a rate 14 times the euro area average.
Progressive policies are the best economic recipe. - RA

On my way to the EU-Western Balkans Summit.
Malta remains committed to dialogue, cooperation and strong partnerships, particularly with our Western Balkan partners as they shape their future with the EU.
Together, we can build a safer, more resilient future for all. - RA

While growth in the euro area fell to just 0.8% in 2026 Q1, Malta’s economy grew by 3.9%, or by about 5 times as much.
Growth exceeded the projections made by the Commission and other international institutions.
Moreover workers’ income rose by twice the GDP growth rate. - RA

Malta led overall growth.
Growth expectations remain positive despite rising uncertainty. Strong momentum, rising wages, measures cushioning price increases, and a falling deficit.
The European Commission’s opinion speaks for itself. - RA

Robust economic momentum, continues to outperform European peers, dynamic, consistent record of fiscal prudence, strong fundamentals, investor-friendly regulatory framework... some of the reasons why Scope Ratings rate Malta A with a stable outlook.
Let us stay the course. - RA

A new record home-ownership rate in 2025, 85%, up from 81% in my first year as PM. Schemes like equity sharing, the 10% deposit scheme, New Hope, the first time buyers grant, the incentives to buy UCA properties all helped to achieve this result. But more remains to be done. - RA

While 5 EU countries have just been given a negative outlook on their rating by Moody's, the international agency reaffirmed Malta's A2 rating with a stable outlook based on our strong trend growth, moderate debt and strong institutional framework - RA

From offshore wind in our Exclusive Economic Zone, to a third interconnector with Sicily, to making Gozo Malta's first carbon-neutral island — this is our commitment to a decarbonised economy that protects families and businesses from energy price instability. -RA

Our manifesto keeps delivering. More proposals that put people first — students, young buyers, families, pensioners, widows, and Gozitans. Every measure built around one principle: a strong economy that works for everyone. A thread. - RA #IntMalta

The Gozo Channel will be free for all Maltese and Gozitans travelling on foot between the two islands. The fast ferry grant for Gozitans travelling for work or study rises from €650 to €800. Gozo is not a second island — it is an equal one. -RA #IntMalta

Parents of children with a disability will continue paying tax at the parental rate until their child turns 23 . The carers grant will double to the equivalent of minimum wage. Because no parent should carry this alone. -RA #IntMalta

First-time buyers will save an extra €6,200, through an increased stamp duty exemption raised to €300,000, plus a €1,200 refund on notarial and search fees. Combined with My First Home, we are talking tens of thousands of euros back in young people's pockets. -RA #IntMalta
