Robert Abela took to X today to highlight a new economic forecast by the European Commission predicting continued strong growth for Malta.The European Commission forecast said Malta’s economy expanded by 4% in 2025 and is expected to continue growing by 3.7% in 2026 and 3.6% in 2027 despite increasing global uncertainty.According to the report, Malta’s growth is being driven by strong domestic consumption, tourism and services sectors including IT, professional and financial services.The forecast also noted that Malta’s unemployment rate is expected to remain very low at around 3%, while the government deficit is projected to stay below the EU’s 3% threshold.Abela referenced the report in his post, saying Malta “led overall growth” and pointed to rising wages, government measures cushioning price increases and a falling deficit.“The European Commission’s opinion speaks for itself,” the Prime Minister wrote.The report also warned that inflation is expected to rise to 2.7% in 2026, partly due to global energy price trends, although Malta’s energy subsidies are expected to soften the impact on consumers.Do you feel Malta’s economy is improving? •
