Recently, Malta's government bond investment immigration has welcomed good news: Canada's DBRS, the world's fourth-largest credit rating agency, announced in a statement that it has upgraded Malta's credit rating to A high stable. In fact, at the end of last year, DBRS had just affirmed Malta's A high rating. In less than a year, DBRS has upgraded Malta's credit rating twice! This marks the third time Malta's credit rating has been upgraded in the past two months.
DBRS stated that the upgrade of Malta's credit rating to A high stable is mainly due to its impressive economic performance in recent years. Malta's GDP growth rate ranked first in the European Union in 2018, far exceeding the EU average.
Previously, the international credit rating agency Fitch upgraded Malta's credit rating from A+ stable to A+ positive in its July monthly report.

On July 20, Moody's confirmed that it had upgraded Malta's sovereign credit rating to A2 with a stable outlook. This is the first time Moody's has upgraded Malta's sovereign credit rating in 11 years.
In addition to Moody's, other major rating agencies are optimistic about Malta's rating. For instance, Fitch has also upgraded Malta's credit rating from A+ stable to A+ positive in a report. This is the second time Fitch has raised Malta's rating. As early as August 2017, Fitch had upgraded Malta's credit rating from A to A+, with a stable outlook.

What Makes Malta So Appealing, Earning Such High Ratings from Major Credit Rating Agencies?
Analysis suggests that this is closely linked to Malta's impressive economic performance in recent years — Malta's GDP growth rates were 6.55% and 6.71% in 2017 and 2018, respectively, maintaining a leading position among EU countries. Additionally, Malta's government has nearly doubled its fiscal surplus compared to what was predicted in recent reports. At the same time, while investments in Malta continue to rise, debt levels have been consistently declining, indicating robust overall fiscal operations.
The upgrades to Malta's credit ratings from major agencies fully reflect their confidence in Malta's national creditworthiness.
As a trusted immigration program backed by the government, Malta's government bond investment immigration program has inherent advantages. This program features a low investment threshold, allowing for permanent residency for four generations in one step, without requirements for age, language, education, or business background, nor any immigration monitoring, thus fully meeting investors' needs for business, children’s education, and healthcare and retirement. It is an ideal choice for immigration to Europe.
Currently, through the Malta government bond investment immigration program, starting at an investment of 70,000 euros, a family of four generations can apply for immigration to Malta; what they pay is interest, and what they gain is permanent residence rights in Schengen countries for four generations, without concerns over bond depreciation or selling bonds for cash.
