Malta is a tiny Mediterranean island with big character. Due to its strategic location between North Africa and Southern Europe and lack of natural resources, the country is focused on trade. The large Malta Freeport is one of the busiest ports in Europe, and the centerpiece of Malta’s trade oriented economy. Tourism also plays a major role in the economy, with the tourism generating 15% of GDP. Because of the low corporate taxes, multilingual and hardworking workforce, and well developed financial services, the country remains popular to foreign investors.
