Benefits of Doing Business in Malta

St,Julian’s,,Malta,-,October,05,,2014:,Cityscape,With,Gorgeous

The Republic of Malta strategically located at the heart of the Mediterranean, is a business-friendly environment ripe with opportunities. A full member of the European Union since 2004, the island of Malta is located just a 2-hour flight away from most European capitals. As a member of the Schengen Area, Malta also grants its citizens the right to travel visa-free across the Area made up of 26 European Countries. Malta is also ideally located to access key destinations in North Africa and the Middle East. English is one of two official languages, which is widely spoken and used for day-to-day business in Malta, with official documentation and legislation being in English and Maltese.

Malta enjoys year-round sunny weather with warm summers and mild winters. Conducting business in Malta compares favourably with other EU countries, with relatively low incorporation costs, competitive labour rates, a stable Government and reasonable living costs. Malta provides an ideal location for both start-ups and well-established companies to set up headquarters or branches in a European jurisdiction.

The Maltese economy has undergone several changes over the past years. Higher value-added sectors, such as online gaming, blockchain, cryptocurrency, aircraft maintenance, pharmaceuticals, the film industry and property development have gained traction, indicating a shift towards more knowledge-intensive sectors. Traditional sectors like manufacturing and tourism have been sustained through competitiveness, whilst new economic sectors such as healthcare, energy, education and logistics have attracted considerable investment.
