The 2020 culture budget is estimated to be at 1.6 per cent of total government expenditure, consistent with the trend in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Per capita public investment in culture for 2020 is expected to reach \u20ac174 \u2013 in line with that of 2019. The public funding portfolio awarded by Arts Council Malta to artists and organisations registered \u20ac2.4 million as in 2019 \u2013 surpassing \u20ac2 million for the third consecutive year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The largest sectoral increase over 2019 is of \u20ac2.8 million – attributed to the arts. Government investment in this sector is estimated to amount to \u20ac23.7m in 2020. This includes new initiatives such as an allocation of \u20ac70,000 for Malta\u2019s participation at the London Design Festival and \u20ac160,000 for the promotion of Maltese classical music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The allocation for Public Cultural Organisations (PCOs) amounted to \u20ac20.1 million \u2013 a slight decrease of \u20ac2.6 million since 2019 largely attributed to the completion of the Valletta 2018 European Capital of Culture. This also includes a substantial investment of \u20ac4.1 million allocated to the newly established Festivals Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
