Abstract: Malta’s current account has improved substantially since 2009, by about four times the change seen in the euro area. The note establishes that Malta’s current account is stationary, a necessary condition for avoiding sustainability problems in external accounts. This reflects a recovery in the national saving rate. Conversely investment has declined.
