Economy
Malta is a small but prosperous, high-income EU and eurozone economy built on services — tourism, financial services, and online gaming — that has grown rapidly and drawn many foreign workers.
Its strategic Mediterranean location and English-speaking, well-educated workforce attract international business, though its small size leaves it dependent on imports and external conditions.
The economy rests on tourism, financial and insurance services, online gaming (a global hub), shipping and ship registration, and electronics manufacturing.
