Latest employment figures released by Eurostat show that in the first quarter of this year Malta recorded the highest employment growth among the 28 EU member states with an employment growth rate of 3.7 per cent.

This marks a second consecutive quarter in which Malta records such an achievement since its 3.4 per cent employment growth rate was also ranked the highest when compared to the other EU member states during the last quarter of 2015.

Minister for Finance Prof. Edward Scicluna remarked: "Malta's top-ranked employment growth owes its success to a number of budget initiatives implemented in the last three years. These have resulted in making work pay and creating labour market opportunities, while discouraging dependencies."
