Local direct investment should be given the same importance as foreign direct investment, Alternattiva Demokratika chairman Harry Vassallo said.
Speaking during a visit at Megabyte at the Mosta Technopark, he said that the “Made in Malta” name is worth protecting and something to be proud of and the government ought to give local investors the same incentives and importance it gave to foreign investors.
Malta was not merely a tourist destination but had more to offer and the local industry ought to be valued more.
AD said it favoured industries, such as Megabyte, as they had an environmentally low impact.
