Anton Borg has been elected president of the Malta Chamber of Commerce, having previously served as president of the Federation of Industry which merged with the Chamber in 2009.
In his first address, Mr Borg outlined his priorities for the Malta Chamber for the coming two-year term. He made reference to the Economic Vision 2014-2020 that the preceding council adopted and which has been widely accepted by both political parties and the authorities.
“It is now incumbent upon the incoming Council to ensure the necessary momentum on the part of the authorities is kept in introducing the chamber’s recommendations that will lead to the enhancement of the national competitiveness needed for the Economic Vision to materialise” he said.
He declared that he would adopt an inclusive style of leadership and appealed to all council members to contribute dynamically to the work and activity of the Malta Chamber and its committees.
