Malta and the EIB

We have supported Malta with key investments, starting with the expansion of Valletta Grand Harbour’s commercial port. Over the years, we have financed crucial sectors, including access to finance for small businesses, urban regeneration, climate action, telecommunications, and the construction of energy-efficient, affordable homes.

We have also backed flagship projects like the parliament building and the open-air theatre at Valletta’s city gate.
