11 China: Property Malta takes opportunities to a global stage and development stimulate demand across a wide range of industries, in- cluding architecture, engineering, construction materials, manufactur- ing, transport, financial services, insur- ance, legal services, and profession- al consultancy. In addition, a strong property market supports tourism infrastructure, attracts international businesses, and underpins confidence in long-term economic growth. Every euro invested in develop- ment reverberates across the economy, sustaining employment, fostering innovation, and enhancing Malta's overall competitiveness. PropertyMalta's presence in China was further strengthened through its participation in LPS Shanghai 2026 – the Luxury Property Show, where it featured a state-of-the-art stand rep- resenting the Maltese property mar- ket. Occupying a prime 115sqm space in a primary location within the expo, the stand served as a strong visual and strategic platform to showcase Malta's offerings to a highly targeted interna- tional audience. The presence at LPS Shanghai allowed PropertyMalta and its members to engage directly with high-net-worth individuals, investors, and industry professionals, reinforc- ing Malta's positioning as a premium, well-regulated, and forward-looking investment destination within Europe. Sandro Chetcuti, Chairman of the Property Malta Foundation, expressed his satisfaction with the strong Maltese participation in the delegation, de- scribing it as a clear sign of the sector's growing ambition and confidence. He noted that initiatives of this scale al- low Maltese operators to build mean- ingful new connections while actively promoting Malta on the international stage. According to Chetcuti, such ex- posure is essential for positioning Mal- ta as more than a property destination, but as a serious investment hub and strategic gateway to Europe, capable of attracting long-term, value-driven investment from global markets like China. PropertyMalta's presence in China also sent a strong signal of ambition. As PropertyMalta continues tapping new markets relentlessly, initiatives like this delegation underline a clear vision: attracting meaningful, sustain- able investment that benefits not just the property sector, but the wider Mal- tese economy for years to come.
