Yearly €1000 grant by @MaltaGov to first-time buyers over 10 years, amounting to 10K, launched today. Buying a property should be a positive experience, not a burden & we will support those determined to buy a property throughout their journey. - RA

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

🇲🇹 Good news for Malta!

With the progress made in implementing its recovery plan, Malta can get a first payment under #NextGenerationEU

So, as soon, as Member States agree too, Malta will receive over €50 million.

DBRS confirm their best rating for Malta at A (high) stable, and say that the election result reinforced their expectation for policy continuity and continued political commitment to improve Malta’s institutional and governance framework. We will continue to push forward. - RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Moody's have changed to stable their outlook for Malta's rating. They believe our diversification means our economy will keep growing despite the global downturn. So our public finances will improve even though @MaltaGov will continue supporting families and businesses. - RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

I pay tribute to former PM and PL Leader Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici. A politician who stood up for the working class and social justice. Thank you for your relentless service to the nation. Sincere condolences to his family. - RA

Despite the pandemic's lingering effects and new geopolitical tensions, S&P Global Ratings have reaffirmed their strong and stable rating for #Malta: our country's best assessment in a decade. If we stay on course, together we can build a new #prosperity. – RA

[Edward Zammit-Lewis @ZammitLewisEdw]

S&P Global Ratings confirm the big progress on the #FATF recommendations also thanks to the unprecedented reforms we implemented. We are determined to together continue on this clear path #MaltaFlimkien 🇲🇹.

I condemn the violent acts on the Ukraine 🇺🇦 Sovereign State. In today’s world we should be resolving dispute through dispute resolution, not through missiles and bullets.

Solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Peace and neutrality are at the heart of our foreign policy. Malta stands with our partners to offer all humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people at this hour of need. International law must be protected. I will echo this message later at the emergency @EUCouncil. – RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

A Labour Government supports local businesses by incentivising #employment #opportunities and rewarding hard work. We will reduce taxes for businesses including a 10% cut in corporate tax, and see families earning more. The future is bright and we are here to deliver it. – RA
