Malta is a small island country in the Mediterranean (south of Sicily) and a member of the European

Union and the Eurozone. It’s made up mainly of Malta (the largest island), Gozo, and Comino, with a

population a bit over half a million. The official languages are Maltese and English, and the currency is the

euro (€). The capital city is Valletta, and the country is known for being very safe, very walkable in the

main towns, and heavily service-driven.

From a business point of view, Malta’s economy is dominated by services—tourism/hospitality,

professional services, logistics, financial services, iGaming, and a big construction/real-estate ecosystem.

Because it’s a small market, reputation and word-of-mouth travel fast, and B2B relationships tend to be

very network-driven. It’s also common for businesses to serve multiple sectors at once (hotels, offices,

restaurants, factories), especially in operational services like cleaning, security, and staffing.
