AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Tourism Investment: WTTC members pledged $2 billion in new investment for Malta’s tourism sector. The council forecasts tourism will contribute $4.9 billion to the economy in 2026—16.9% of GDP—and support more than one in five jobs. Tourism Markets: The Malta Tourism Authority and Trip.com Group signed a three-year deal to promote the islands, diversify tourism products and attract more visitors; Trip.com reported bookings to Malta up 60%. Maritime Safety: A Maltese-flagged cargo ship was struck by drones off Bulgaria, but all 15 crew were rescued. Bulgarian authorities said the vessel was empty. Household Finance: Malta had the EU’s lowest rate on new mortgages in August, at 1.88%, according to Central Bank figures cited in Irish mortgage data.
