# Malta Chamber Warns Economic Model Reached Limits, Calls for Productivity Focus

## In brief

- The Malta Chamber of Commerce has warned that the country's current economic model has reached its limits.
- The Chamber advocates for a new model that prioritises productivity and quality of life over population growth.
- Opposition Leader Alex Borg endorsed this call during a meeting with business leaders.

Malta's long-standing economic model, which has supported the country for many years, has now reached its limits, according to a warning issued by the president of the Malta Chamber of Commerce.

Newsbook reported the Chamber's concern, indicating a need for a re-evaluation of the country's economic direction.

Lovin Malta further detailed the Chamber's proposals, stating that it is advocating for a new economic model. This new approach would measure success through productivity and the overall quality of life for residents, rather than solely focusing on economic growth driven by population increases.

During a meeting with business leaders, Opposition Leader Alex Borg endorsed the Malta Chamber of Commerce's call for this revised economic strategy, agreeing with the shift towards productivity and quality of life.

## The Spin Room

**Low media divide.** Both Newsbook and Lovin Malta reported on the Malta Chamber's warning about the economic model, with Lovin Malta also detailing the Chamber's call for a focus on productivity and the Opposition Leader's endorsement.
