In a press conference, the Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri said that the 2021 Budget is the largest budget ever presented in the history of the country and even in the midst of a pandemic this government has not only not withdrawn any benefits from the last seven years, but has continued to add to them.
He said that this is a government led by a prime minister who has a vision for Malta and who has clear goals for Gozo and for Malta and that Gozo has been, is and will remain a priority for this government.
Minister Camilleri announced that this budget is also the best budget ever given to Gozo:”The recurring budget has been increased to € 52 million while the budget for capital investments has been increased to a record € 22 million. This means that for the year 2021, Gozo will be enjoying a substantial financial increase over last year of more than € 6 million. We Gozitans and Maltese are proud. And they are moving forward because in the end there is a government that is working to create jobs in Gozo for Gozitans by attracting new companies; invest more in industrial infrastructure; and give a series of incentives ”.
