About MIMCOL

Malta Investment Management Company Limited (MIMCOL) is a government entity dedicated to creating, assisting and promoting financial endeavours/projects with the ultimate aim of strengthening the national economic effort; offering services for the restructuring and privatisation, strategic management services, Human Resources guidance and a wide range of financial services.

Who we are

MIMCOL is a collective of experienced business and accounting professionals brought together by a mission - to create value through the formation and reformation of economic elements while satisfying any obligations that are of social and public interest.

Ever since its inception in 1988 MIMCOL has been a vital element in structuring strong and sustainable business ventures on a wide variety of markets, whether it being on a financial or operational level.

MIMCOL has been involved in high-level specialised assignments such as strategic reviews of the management and operations of important parastatal companies and corporations operating in various sectors. MIMCOL has also been actively involved in a lead advisory capacity to the Privatisation Unit in the context of Government’s privatisation programme, and had a forefront role in the privatisation of state entities such as Malta International Airport, the National Lottery and Maltapost. Today MIMCOL falls under the responsibility of the Ministry for the Economy, Investment and Small Business headed by the Hon Silvio Schembri.

MIMCOL is the technical advisor to Malta Government Investments (MGI) subsidiaries as well as consultancy arm to the Cabinet of Ministers and other agencies.

Our history

MIMCOL was set up in 1988, originally with the primary aim of rationalising the portfolio of investments held by the Government of Malta at the time through a comprehensive management, restructuring and divestment (divestment) programme.

Starting off with a portfolio of some 80 government investments it immediately embarked on identifying and addressing the major problems pervading these companies.

A number of non-viable companies were immediately closed down and put into liquidation, whereas others with commercial potential were hived off to the private sector. The remaining companies, which were deemed unripe for privatisation or considered of a strategic national interest, remained within MIMCOL’s remit. Several of these companies have, since then, undergone extensive reorganisation and restructuring with the aim of improving their financial and operating performance whilst still satisfying any obligations of a social and public interest nature. Over time, MIMCOL’s scope of activities evolved beyond the management of its own portfolio of investments as its extensive experience and technical expertise were increasingly recognised and drawn upon by various Ministries and Government agencies. As MIMCOL looks to the future, some of the key elements to ensuring its continued success will revolve around the development of a more robust and strategic Human Resources function, the continuation and creation of new start-up initiatives, and the introduction of revenue generation and cost control strategies.
