This represents a 2% increase over last year and continues to inspire confidence in the implementation of next year\u2019s Budget, just days ahead of the 2026 Budget announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sultana noted that this year\u2019s Budget included 326 measures, of which 62% were social, 20% environmental, and 18% economic. The strong implementation results are the outcome of the work carried out by all departments, directorates, and entities, coordinated by the Office of the Prime Minister. The Coordination and Implementation Division within the Office of the Prime Minister closely monitors these measures, compiles reports, and supports their implementation. This structure has been further strengthened through the introduction of a new monitoring and reporting system, allowing challenges to be addressed more promptly.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Principal Permanent Secretary, Public Administration employees are the driving force behind the implementation of the Budget. Their year-round commitment ensures that the Budget serves as a true instrument of social and economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Clyde Caruana stated that the consistently strong implementation rates demonstrate the soundness with which Malta\u2019s Budgets are drawn up. He added that this Government has a proven track record of responsible Budgets which, apart from supporting families and businesses, meet the country\u2019s economic targets and ensure continued national strength.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElsewhere, in recent years, governments that have taken different decisions are now facing major challenges. They are being forced to cut public expenditure, while unemployment and burdens on citizens continue to rise. In Malta, the situation is entirely different. Our economy remains strong, employment is at record levels, and the fiscal position continues to improve year after year,\u201d said Minister Caruana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this way, next Monday we will be presenting another Budget that will continue to support people and employers, while further strengthening the foundations of our country,\u201d the Minister concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The publication <em>It-Twettiq tal-Ba\u0121it 2025<\/em> includes a full list of all measures announced in the 2025 Budget, with updates on each one. It also provides an analysis of economic performance and a report on the work carried out to align these measures with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>The publication <em>It-Twettiq tal-Ba\u0121it 2025<\/em>, issued by the Office of the Principal Permanent Secretary, can be accessed <u><a href=\"https:\/\/publicservice.gov.mt\/media\/Publications\/Twettiq_tal-Bagit_2025.pdf?v=202510220618\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/publicservice.gov.mt\/media\/Publications\/Twettiq_tal-Bagit_2025.pdf?v%3D202510220618&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1761280680499000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0ZGWES4r3GOHApYcYQ7n_A\">here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: MFIN\/PPS<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_52563\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"52563\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"http:\/\/livenewsmalta.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the presence of Minister for Finance Clyde Caruana and the leadership of the Public Service, Principal Permanent Secretary Tony Sultana launched the publication It-Twettiq tal-Ba\u0121it 2025 and announced that the budget implementation rate for 2025 reached 86%.
