Malta: Doing Business in Germany
The Maltese business community goes international. EU Membership has facilitated such international ventures as European law has widely harmonised the legal framework for international commerce. Furthermore, European passporting provides for new interesting opportunities to do business from Malta throughout Europe and namely in Germany.
Malta and Germany have a long-standing track record of good business relations. Malta has become a prime hub for German investment in the Mediterranean ranging from producing pharmaceuticals to financial services. Moreover, Malta’s membership to the EU has added to the island’s attractiveness for German direct investment.
