Malta's economy is small but diversified, with services dominating. Tourism, financial services, and gaming industries are central to GDP. Its strategic Mediterranean location makes it a hub for shipping, logistics, and investment. Tourism brings millions of visitors annually, supporting hotels and restaurants. The financial sector attracts international firms due to favorable regulations. Information technology and online gaming have grown significantly. Manufacturing includes electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, though on a limited scale. Challenges include overreliance on tourism and external demand. Malta's skilled workforce, EU membership, and attractive tax policies continue to strengthen its economy and GDP performance.
