Parliamentary secretary for economic growth Edward Zammit Lewis has received "very good feedback" for the Global Residence Programme, the government said today.

Zammit Lewis is accompanying the Prime Minister in Miami, Florida for the Henley & Partners, 7th Global Residence & Citizenship Conference.

The junior minister is representing the government in promoting Malta's Global Residence Program. According to a government statement, this conference is considered to be "the world's leading investor immigration and citizenship event".

"The conference provided a good platform to promote Malta's attractive international residence and citizenship programmes, in the presence of leading experts in this expanding field," the government said.

"Our lead is that Malta can provide investors with a comprehensive package as a highly reputable international business and financial jurisdiction, especially if the investors are involved in sectors relating to Malta's focus industries such as ICT, Shared Services, Financial Services, Advanced Manufacturing, Life Sciences and Health Services, International Educational Services, Tourism, Transportation and Logistics."

The conference is designed for private client advisors, tax lawyers, immigration specialists, relationship managers of private banks, family officers and advisers of high net worth individuals and families in relation to residence and citizenship.

Zammit Lewis also participated in the conference panel to discuss the latest developments in this sector.

The statement concluded that government was "committed to continue promoting Malta's Residence & Citizenship programmes internationally to continue attracting investment and talent towards our jurisdiction".
