MALITA Investments was set
up in 2011 by the government
to finance the building of Ren-
zo Piano's Valletta City Gate
project.
Rather than fronting the €80
million cost directly, the gov-
ernment created an invest-
ment company that would
finance, develop and manage
the property. Malita would
construct the buildings—par-
liament, the open-air theatre
and City Gate—manage them
and rent them to the govern-
ment.
The arrangement was one
way of securing finance with-
out adding to government's
debt burden, while also en-
couraging public participa-
tion through a share issue.
