With more than 110 different companies listed and around 300 different financial instruments in its markets, the activity on the Malta Stock Exchange is another testimony to how the economic activity in our country has continued to become stronger.
In a visit to the Malta Stock Exchange, the Prime Minister Robert Abela noted that during the last years, the companies listed with this institution and the different financial instruments that can be traded in its markets have grown by almost twice as much.
In the last three years alone, over 20 new companies have been admitted to the lists of the Malta Stock Exchange. This is at a time when, like the rest of the world, our country was confronted by challenges that had an impact on international economies.
During this visit the Prime Minister emphasized how the Malta Stock Exchange should be a spur so that investment in our country continues to grow and create wealth so that that same wealth can then translate into more help to the people. Above all, this is also crucial to make the economic transition.
“The field of financial services is a catalyst in these investments linked to the green core and the digital one that is taking place so that we can continue to offer a better quality of life for families,” said Prime Minister Robert Abela. He added that the regulatory framework that our country has in different areas including iGaming and the Maltese open economy for trade all give a crucial role to the Malta Stock Exchange.
Reports by international experts including those of the International Monetary Fund spoke of an impressive recovery and how national wealth head to head is expected to surpass that of the Euro Zone. All of these show a strong economy and fiscal situation, and this at a time when the support to the people continued to be strengthened and given to everyone. Prime Minister Abela therefore said that our country must continue to attract quality investment built on the country’s priorities such as environmental ones.
The Prime Minister claimed that these results continue to testify to how crucial and timely the decisions taken by the Government during the last months were for companies and businesses to remain strong and for our country to maintain economic stability.
During the visit, where he met the leadership of the Malta Stock Exchange and the workers, the Prime Minister was accompanied by the Minister for Finance and Work Clyde Caruana.
