Malta Gross Savings
Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS
Malta's gross savings was 24.24% in 2025, ranked 60th globally. This represents a 5.6% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1971–2025.
Overview
Malta's gross savings stood at 24.24% in 2025, a decline of +1.43% from 2024. The IMF projects 24.24% by 2025. Malta ranked 60th globally.
Malta’s gross savings ratio has hovered around the mid‑twenties for most of the past five decades, reaching a recent 24.24 percent in 2025, which places the island nation 60th in the World Bank ranking. After a pronounced high of 35.12 percent in 1981, the savings share fell sharply to a trough of 12.95 percent in 2006 before embarking on a gradual recovery. The long‑term average of 23.60 percent in 1971 shows that the current level is only modestly above the early baseline, reflecting structural shifts in household income and public finance that have limited the capacity to accumulate surplus. Compared with peers of similar rank, Malta’s savings rate is slightly below Spain’s 24.33 percent and Estonia’s 24.17 percent, suggesting that regional policy differences and labor‑market dynamics continue to shape outcomes. If fiscal consolidation and incentives for private capital formation are strengthened, the upward trajectory observed since the mid‑2000s could accelerate, pushing the savings ratio toward the upper‑twenties in the coming years.
