Italy and Malta are more than just commercial partners with the former standing for the central Mediterranean archipelago as a major role model in many a sector.
Italy is one of the major suppliers of goods and services to Malta while our Italian neighbours have reached the 4th position as far as Maltese exports are concerned.
In the year 2000 Malta imported from Italy 624,417,266 Euros, that is 25% of total imports from EU countries. Malta exported about 100,000 Euros, i.e. approximately 10% of total exports towards EU countries and 5% of the total exports bill.
Malta, besides its natural market opportunities, must also be considered for it’s overall consumption potential related to the tourism sector and as an important reference point in the middle of the Mediterranean, a strategic geo-political position attracting interest and confidence from all international quarters.
It has been recently made clear how important it is for Italian entrepreneurs to look beyond the Italian shores for international investments in order to make good for the losses in exports registered in the last 10 years.
Malta can offer a number of facilities and benefits through the Business Promotion Act and the Chamber can help you obtain the right information and assitance through public and private entities dedicated to these activities.
The Maltese Italian Chamber of Commerce is the meeting point for both Italian and Maltese commercial, industrial and cultural interests. It’s competence over the specific nature of the local general framework is ideal for those wishing to develop relations with Malta, and the MICC can guide potential customers to establish contacts with the right public and private entities of interest to their needs. |
