Narrative updated for the September 2026 edition.

Malta stays last at 2.26 (June: 2.23). It scores zero on two pillars: grassroots adoption (desktop Linux 2.77%, sovereign browser share 6.82%, both the EU's lowest) and public-sector hosting, since opm.gov.mt, president.gov.mt and localgovernment.gov.mt are all served by Cloudflare with DNS on Microsoft. Private-sector hosting is second-lowest (3.14): of the 88 measured .mt domains, all that the top-1M list offers, 88% are hosted outside the EU. Developer density is the one decent pillar (3.98, 10th).

Strengths

  • Developer ecosystem (5.91, 10th).

Weaknesses

  • Public sector: 0.0. Three official sites, one US front end and one US DNS operator.
  • Grassroots adoption: 0.0.
  • Private-sector hosting (3.14, 26th), on a sample too small for stable readings.

Outlook

Malta's public pillar is one hosting decision away from 10; that alone would add 2.5 points to its index and lift it into the middle band.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, Malta was an "emerging" country whose standing was based entirely on the strength of its exceptionally well-rounded and mature OSS policy framework.

2024 progression

The government has remained active in promoting OSS. The 2019 Open Source Software Policy, published by the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA), encourages cost-effective OSS adoption and gives it equal consideration in procurement.
