Scope Ratings Affirms Malta's A+ Credit Rating with Stable Outlook, Citing Strong Economic Performance

International credit rating agency Scope Ratings has affirmed Malta's A+ credit rating with a stable outlook. This decision is attributed to the Maltese economy's robust growth, with a projected 4.1% expansion this year, and a significant reduction in the budget deficit to 2.1% in 2025. The agency also noted that public debt is expected to remain moderate and gradually decline to around 44% of national output by 2031.
