Ministry for Finance and EmploymentGovernment

The Ministry for Finance and Employment of Malta is a cabinet-level government department responsible for public finances, economic policy, national budget planning, and labor market administration. Tracing its origins back to the introduction of responsible self-government under the 1921 Amery-Milner Constitution, the finance portfolio has historically steered Malta's economic trajectory through post-colonial independence in 1964 and its accession to the Eurozone in 2008. Over successive administrations, the ministry has periodically merged with portfolios such as employment and economic planning to align fiscal policy with workforce development.
