The Malta Council for Economic and Social Development (MCESD)Chairman James Pearsall, who is also a member of the board of the national post-Covid-19 Strategy, has called on the Chairman of the Gozo Regional Committee within MCESD, to conduct preparatory work to contribute ideas tied to the post-Covid-19 national strategy consultation in a bid to give their views where Gozo is concerned.

In a virtual meeting, Mr Pearsall also gave an overview of the MCESD Research Steering Unit, which he explained was set up “to turn threats into opportunities in a fast-changing world in the midst of a pandemic which will look at development and trends beyond our shores so as to conduct research which is relevant locally and which also is relevant globally as Malta has an increasing open economy.”

He also spoke about the fact that he is involved in the national post-Covid strategy where he is a calling for a constructive and comprehensive effort, saying that existing data and future data will be gathered to emerge with a strategy.

Mr Pearsall, on a separate note, also spoke about the National Productivity Board, handled by MCESD, whereby a report was conducted by experts on Malta’s economic, social and environment perspective and outlines a list of recommendations for a way forward.
