Malta’s Economy Strengthens with €6.3 Billion GDP in Q3

Malta’s economy continued its steady upward momentum in the third quarter of 2025, with GDP reaching €6.345 billion, marking a 5.7% increase compared to the same period last year. The figures point to an economy that remains resilient, with growth being driven largely by domestic activity and external demand.

The services sector once again proved to be the engine of expansion. Strong performances were recorded in accommodation and food services, retail, and administrative and support activities, highlighting Malta’s position as a service-led economy that is benefiting from sustained consumer spending and tourism activity. Hospitality businesses in particular have seen a notable boost, reflecting Malta’s continued appeal as a travel destination and a growing flow of visitors throughout the year.

Economic growth was also supported by improving trade conditions. Exports rose faster than imports, giving Malta’s economy a positive contribution from net trade during the quarter. This shows not only healthy demand from overseas markets, but also the competitiveness of Malta’s services and business environment internationally.

Overall, the latest results paint a picture of an economy that remains on a solid footing. With services continuing to expand, household consumption holding firm, and trade activity improving, Malta enters the final quarter of 2025 with strong momentum and confidence in its growth outlook.
