South EU Summit's video: South EU Summit Interview with Prime Minister of Malta - Joseph Muscat Part 3

Dr. Joseph Muscat has served as Prime Minister of Malta since 2013, having been re-elected in 2017. He has been the leader of the Partit Laburista (PL) political party since 2008, identifying as both a progressive and a liberal. Muscat was previously Leader of the Opposition from 2008 to 2013, and a Member of the European Parliament from 2004 to 2008. Muscat is widely attributed with the undertaking of sweeping economic and legislative reforms, that have led to an unprecedented period of economic growth in the country. His pro-business approach has also placed Malta in the international limelight as a leading European jurisdiction for foreign investment – particularly within the areas of financial services, gaming, IT, and most recently, DLT and associated disruptive technologies.
