We would like to thank all those organisations that shared information and observations.

In contrast with previous years, data was not made available at the national level (as of end of April 2026). Although where possible, this report was supplemented with Eurostat, many statistics regarding 2025 are unavailable as a result.

The update on 2025 to the AIDA country report on Malta was shared with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Security and Employment to provide an opportunity for comments.

The information in this report is up to date as of 31 December 2025, unless otherwise stated.
