The first meeting of the newly appointed Malta Vision 2050 Steering Committee has marked “an important milestone in shaping the country’s long-term strategic direction.” Chaired by the Head of Secretariat at the Office of the Prime Minister, Col. Dr Mark Mallia, the meeting reiterated that Malta Vision 2050 is “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to define a national direction that rises above electoral cycles and sectoral boundaries.” Dr Mallia emphasised that the Vision must account for Malta’s strengths and challenges while preparing the nation for global megatrends.
Permanent Secretary for Malta Vision 2050, Ronald Mizzi, presented progress since the publication of the draft Vision last April. He explained that the initiative has entered a “crucial refinement phase” following extensive consultations involving “thousands of citizens, businesses, youth groups, NGOs, academics, Ministries… and local councils.” Feedback is now informing revisions to macro measures, KPIs, and long-term trajectories.
Principal Permanent Secretary Tony Sultana praised the public administration’s coordination, noting that a forward-looking service is essential to both developing and implementing the Vision.
Members were also updated on the new reporting and accountability system, including a public-facing digital dashboard designed to enhance transparency. The Committee reaffirmed its commitment to a transparent, inclusive, data-driven process as drafting continues.
