SUSTAINING AND STRENGTHENING A FRAGILE RECOVERY
PAUL COCKS
THE failure of the government to
announce a lower VAT rate for the
hospitality industry in last Mon-
day's budget speech was a majaor
disappointment, the president of
the Malta Chamber has claimed.
Marisa Xuereb told BusinessTo-
day that the Chamber recognised
the challenging fiscal position in
which the budget was formulated,
but felt the it did not affectively
address measures aimed at the
recovery of sectors worst hit by
COVID-19, such as tourism-re-
lated segments.
JONATHAN Cardona has
been appointed as Chief Execu-
tive Officer (CEO) of Enemalta
plc with effect from 11 October.
He will succeed Ing. Jason
Vella who is assisting in this
transition.
