The momentum of the Maltese economy shows no signs of abating.
The country is well placed to become an important bridge between
post-Brexit Britain and the EU, and to keep growing and
diversifying. Moreover, it has embraced many of the latest digital
sectors, including digital ledger technologies (blockchain) and
crypto currencies.
For much of its history, Malta has been a bridge for
international trade. When ships were still fuelled by coal, it was
the primary refuelling port for those travelling between Europe,
India and the Far East. Although its commercial and leisure
maritime industries remain important – Malta has the largest
shipping register in the EU and a particularly strong super-yacht
industry – today, the island nation is more of a financial
and digital bridge.
