“The journey over the years of the Malta Chamber of SMEs is reflected in Malta’s economic and social development” – President George Vella
13 July 2023
The President of Malta George Vella said that the 75 years of history of the Malta Chamber of SMEs are years of history not only of this Chamber but also of our country.
Addressing an event on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Malta Chamber of SMEs, President Vella stated that despite the small size of our country, the 7,000 members of the Chamber representing around 12,000 different businesses show that there are many Maltese residents with an entrepreneurial spirit who are ready to take on risk and invest in themselves and in Malta. He then saluted the thousands of small businesses that, despite all the hardships of the last few years, including the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, were “sensible enough to stay afloat and are now getting back on their feet.”
President Vella expressed his appreciation that over the last four years, the Malta Chamber of SMEs has kept him informed about all the issues faced by Maltese entrepreneurs.
President Vella stressed once again the importance of sustainability. “I believe that we can use transversal economic models that while allowing the economy to grow, they help protect the environment and also ensure the strengthening of the social aspect”, stated President Vella.
The President referred to the role of the Malta Chamber of SMEs as a mediator between entrepreneurs and policymakers. He explained that it is “necessary to continue to teach small business owners about new and effective methods and the measures that they are bound to implement; to give more visibility to all local products and to encourage the public to use Maltese products, with the conviction that they are of the same quality as foreign goods.”
President George Vella concluded by wishing the Malta Chamber of SMEs well as it continues to work hard for the economic, social and environmental strengthening of our country in the coming years.
