The rise in domestic property prices was, however, not sufficient to offset the downward movement in prices that occurred in recent years, particularly in 2008 and 2009,\u201d the Central Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite stable property prices, the volume of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.remax-malta.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">property sales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, both for residential and com\u00admercial purposes, declined.

This may continue to persist, in view of slower growth in mortgage credit and the uncertain economic outlook overseas, which has a negative impact on foreign demand at the high end of the market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Maltese Government announced an <\/span><b>\u2018Economic Recovery Plan\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept across the world. In addition to the initial announcement, two property-related legal notices were also published on the 15th June that outlined a temporary reduction in the rate of Stamp Duty (for buyers) and Final Withholding Tax (for sellers) on property transfers on the first \u20ac400,000 of the price.
