Current initiatives in the upgrading of housing stock in Malta
Over the past few years, the property market and the construction sector in Malta have been passing through a downturn, which is, among other things, characterised by what appears to be a substantial oversupply of residential properties together with a decline in the demand for such properties. This state-of-affairs has led to demands from different sectors for a comprehensive redevelopment/upgrading strategy through which the property and construction sectors can be revived.

It is now thought that a more concerted endeavour is required. ; N/A
