6.2.2 Public cultural expenditure broken down by level of government
As a small nation state, cultural funding in Malta is distributed 100% directly by government, either through direct expenditure or by transfer to its agencies. However, local councils are in a position to spend their yearly allocation according to the council's respective year-plan.
