Summary:

Malta has recorded robust growth in recent years. Vibrant domestic demand, favorable external conditions, and further progress with structural reforms supported solid job creation, particularly in services, and reduced unemployment to record-lows. This strong performance, together with fiscal discipline, contributed to continued deficit and public debt reduction while solid profitability and adequate capitalization have kept the banking system stable and resilient.
