Great Britain formally acquired possession of Malta in 1814. The island
staunchly supported the UK through both World Wars and remained in the
Commonwealth when it became independent in 1964. A decade later Malta became
a republic. Over the last 15 years, the island has become a freight
transshipment point, financial center, and tourist destination. It is an
official candidate for EU membership.
Major resources are limestone, a favorable geographic location, and a
productive labor force. Malta produces only about 20% of its food needs, has
limited freshwater supplies, and has no domestic energy sources. The economy
is dependent on foreign trade, manufacturing (especially electronics and
textiles), and tourism. Malta is privatizing state-controlled firms and
liberalizing markets in order to prepare for membership in the European
Union and is expected to complete EU accession negotiations in 2002. The
island is divided politically, however, over the question of joining the EU.
