Overview
Malta's remittances received stood at $15.9M in 2025, a rise of +$241,016 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $15.9M by 2025. Malta ranked 175th globally.
Malta’s remittances received have fallen sharply from the all‑time peak of 319,219,551.91 in 2004 to a 2025 level of 15,905,069.73, placing the island nation at 175th globally and ranking it just above Kiribati’s 15,862,367.90 and below San Marino’s 23,181,454.86. The downward trajectory began after the mid‑2000s surge, with the lowest recorded inflow occurring in 1997 at 9,111,576.98, and has since fluctuated within a relatively narrow band around the 15‑million mark for the past decade. Over the 55‑year coverage period, the decline reflects reduced reliance on migrant workers’ transfers and a structural shift toward service‑oriented exports, which have lessened the need for external household support. Continued diversification of the economy and stronger diaspora engagement could stabilize or modestly increase remittance inflows, but without policy incentives the long‑term trend is likely to remain subdued.
