Malta: latest news, politics, travel and business
Looking for clear, up-to-date coverage of Malta? You're in the right place. Malta is small but often makes big headlines across politics, EU affairs, tourism and finance. On CottonCandi News we collect the stories that matter to people who live in Malta, Maltese abroad, and anyone tracking Mediterranean and EU shifts.
Malta's strategic location in the central Mediterranean means news there can have wider effects — from migration routes to shipping, and from EU politics to regional security. You’ll find reporting on the government’s moves, court cases, local elections, and how EU rules affect everyday life. We also cover business stories: ports, tourism numbers, property trends and Malta’s push to balance growth with local concerns.
What we cover
Politics and law: follow cabinet changes, parliamentary debates, and high-profile trials that shape Malta’s institutions. Economy and business: updates on tourism, foreign investment, shipping, and small business challenges. Society and community: stories about housing, education, health services, and local protests. Culture and travel: guides to Malta’s towns, festivals, food, and travel tips if you plan a visit. Environment: coverage of coastal management, development disputes, and climate impacts on an island nation.
We aim to be practical. Want to know how a new tourism rule affects your booking? We explain it. Curious about property taxes or residency options? We break down the steps you need to know. Our local reporting connects the dots between complex policies and everyday life, so you can act or decide with confidence.

Business note: Malta has attracted fintech, online gaming and small shipping businesses because of its EU access and business-friendly rules. That created jobs but also sparked debates about regulation, worker pay and housing pressure in busy towns. We track company openings, license changes, job reports and housing data so you can follow economic shifts that affect rents, wages and services. If you're an investor or job seeker, we point to reliable sources, government notices and local watchdog reports to help you make smarter choices and insights.
If you live in Malta or follow it closely, help us improve coverage: send tips, photos, or story ideas via our contact page. We rely on local leads to pick up stories national outlets might miss. And if you spot an error, tell us — we correct facts fast because accuracy matters.
Finally, expect balanced reporting. We publish facts first, then context. That way you see the immediate news and understand the longer trends shaping Malta’s future. Keep this tag handy for clear, timely updates from Malta — from the capital Valletta to smaller towns and busy harbors along the coast.
