The Malta Developers Association presented a substantial document with concrete proposals for Budget 2018, some of which can be implemented immediately.
MDA President Sandro Chetcuti, who headed a delegation of Council members, augured that the Prime Minister and his Government would continue to achieve further progress and success in its endeavours to take the country to the next level. He praised Government’s initiatives that have truly brought the best of times in terms of employment and a booming economy.
On behalf of the MDA, he has always felt comfortable criticising the Government where it erred and praised it where it had achieved outstanding progress. This was fruitful since the government always had the best intentions to improve and not get carried away.
The MDA is one of the few national associations that rarely made specific requests in the sole interests of its members, Mr Chetcuti added, because most of its members could see the big picture. All they want is a climate of confidence and tranquillity in the country, as it is today. Therefore, the MDA’s proposals are intended to reach all the people, as outlined in its proposals to the political parties for consideration in their electoral manifestos earlier this year.
Sensitive to the current debate in the country on the issue of rents for those who truly need assistance, the MDA has also presented a further six practical proposals together with this document.
The Prime Minister, who was accompanied by the Parliamentary for Planning and the Property Market in the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects, Chris Agius, promised to continue working closely with the MDA and acknowledged that the proposals it had made in the past had always worked and produced increased national wealth, which therefore would be used to promote a better quality of life for the people.
