MALTA: A PROFILE
Malta comprises an archipelago of five islands: the island of Malta is the
largest, followed by Gozo, Comino, Cominotto and Filfla. The latter two are
uninhabited islets. The Maltese Islands are situated in the Central
Mediterranean Sea, 93 kilometres south of Sicily and 290 kilometres north of
Libya.
The climate is a Mediterranean one characterised by hot, dry summers and
cool winters with an annual average rainfall of nearly 476 millimetres.
Temperatures are stable, the annual mean being 19C and monthly averages
ranging from 15C to about 31C in the summer months. Winds blow
frequently over Malta. The most prevalent are the cool northwesterly known in
the vernacular as il-majjistral, the dry northeasterly called il-grigal, and the hot
southeasterly called ix-xlokk.
Malta gained independence from Britain on 21 September 1964 when it also
joined the Commonwealth. The country became a Republic on 13 December
1974. Its form of government is one legislative house, il-Kamra tad-Deputati,
elected by Universal Suffrage for a term of five years.
The Maltese economy progressed from one harnessed to the needs of the
British colonial administration up to the mid-1960s, to a market-driven
economy with an emphasis on higher value added economic activities in
services, notably financial services and tourism. Challenges to the Islands
economy are the relatively small domestic market and the disadvantages
brought about by insularity. Major assets are a pleasant and attractive climate,
and a qualified, skilled and hard-working labour force.
The Maltese people have evolved through centuries of domination by Arab,
Norman, European and English administrators. An important legacy, evident
especially in Maltese architectural heritage and culture, is the one bequeathed
by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, who ruled
the Islands from 1530 to 1798. The Knights era is evoked especially in the
walled cities of Malta, among which is Valletta, a living exposition of Baroque
architecture. In spite of, or perhaps because of, these diverse influences, the
people have retained their Malteseness, manifested in a rich array of folk
festivals, village feasts, religious ceremonies and pageants such as those
organised in the Easter period. These pageants feature events and characters
from the Bible, and are a mixture of devotion and love of worldly celebration.
iii
The people themselves have a warm and hospitable disposition, but also
exhibit the hardihood and strong survival instincts of an island race.
The island of Gozo bears a number of similarities to Malta, but also
considerable diversity. In view of this, the Island is currently being promoted
as an eco-island because it is more scenic, greener and quieter than the
mainland. Gozo comprises a land area of 67 square kilometres, and a
resident population of approximately 31,000. Gozitans have a very distinctive
set of characteristics which include lifestyle, language intonations, folklore, as
well as a robust tradition of cottage industries.
For such a relatively small population and land area, Malta and Gozo teem
with cultural events. Carnival dates back to at least the middle of the 15th
Century and combines Maltese time-honoured traditions with contemporary
dance and popular culture. The Notte Bianca or Lejl Imdawwal is organised
every year, showcasing the auberges, palaces, churches, museums and the
arts in Valletta among the Maltese people and visitors to the country. Its
counterpart across the Channel is Notte Gozitana. Valletta, Maltas capital city,
has been named European Capital of Culture for 2018.

FOREWORD
Malta in Figures 2013 is being published in the International Year of
Statistics. This event celebrates a number of core values that are
inherent to the production and dissemination processes of official
statistics. Among such values are integrity, impartiality, timeliness and
reliability. This year aims to strengthen the publics awareness of and
trust in official statistics, a relationship that is crucial to the proper
functioning of the countrys national statistical institute.
The event also promotes the work carried out by statisticians who
continually adjust to new statistical challenges while striving to retain
high levels of service and professionalism. In a way this is done
through this edition.
This annual publication profiles Malta through a set of numbers,
ranging from economic indicators and population statistics to climate,
quality of life and healthcare data. It is an easy reference guide for
every user, and should find its place in the bookcases of households
and organisations. Updates are available on the official website.
I would like to thank all staff at the NSO for their collective effort in
compiling this pocketbook and steering it through to publication.

About the Artist

Andrew Micallef was born on 7 February 1969 at a-ebbu Malta. He studied
Graphic Design at Tara Gap School for Arts and Crafts. In December 1986, he held
his first solo exhibition, followed by a second one at the Natural History Museum in
Mdina in 1989. The subject chosen for both exhibitions was Maltese migratory birds.
Andrew took part in various collective shows and art competitions. He also exhibited
twice at the National Museum of Fine Arts in 1999 and 2005, and staged another two
solo exhibitions at Auberge dItalie, in 2007 and 2012. He was also commissioned to
design eight sets of stamps, as well as various educational publications, featuring
Maltese Flora and Fauna.

Notes: (1) E. coli is short for Escherichia coli. Although these bacteria normally live in the intestines they can survive quite
well outside the body in faecally-contaminated environments such as water or mud.
(2) The Intestinal Enterococci group can be used as an index of faecal pollution. This group survives longer in water
environments than E. coli, and is more resistant to drying and to chlorination. Intestinal Enterococci have also been used to
test water quality after repairs to water systems or the installation of new water mains.

PPS is the artificial common reference currency unit used in the EU to express the volume of economic aggregates for the purpose of spatial
comparisons - the basic figures are expressed in PPS, i.e a common currency that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries allowing
volume comparisons between countries
2
GDP in terms of current prices, expressed in millions of PPS (Purchasing Power Standards). Expressing GDP in PPS (Purchasing Power Standards)
eliminates differences in price levels between countries, and calculations on a per head basis allows for the comparison of economies significantly
different in absolute size
This is the volume index of GDP per capita in Purchasing Power Standards (PPS); it should be noted that this indicator has been rescaled i.e. data is
now expressed in relation to the European Union average set to equal 100 (EU27=100). The per capita volume index represents the real volume of GDP
in per capita terms in relation to the European Union (EU27) average set equal 100

Methodological Notes
1.
The short-term indicators comprise a number of business cycle indicators showing the evolution of the market of
goods and services in the economy. The indicators record the evolution of turnover, production, producer prices,
employment, wages and salaries, and hours worked over long periods of time. The objective of these indicators is to
measure the market activity in the industrial, construction and services sectors. These indicators are compiled as a
"fixed-base-year Laspeyres type indices". The current base year is 2005. The data are not seasonally and workingday adjusted.
2.
Industrial activities are in line with section B, C, D and E of the statistical classification of economic activities. NACE
divisions 09, 19, 24 and and NACE group 30.90 have been excluded because of their negligible activity.
Construction activities covered are in line with Section F. Services activities are covered by Sections G to N with the
exception of sections J and L. In line with the Short-term Statistics Regulation, the term 'Services' excludes, inter
alia, Financial and Insurance Activities, Real Estate Activities and Gambling and Betting Activities
3.
Whereas industrial indicators are broken down by MIG (main industrial grouping) classification, Construction and
Services activities are broken down by NACE division (2-digit) and section levels respectively. The MIGs are broken
down as follows:
- Intermediate goods;
- Energy;
- Consumer goods;
- Capital goods;
- Durable consumer goods;
- Non-durable consumer goods.
4.
The data for industry are collected by means of a representative sample of approximately 320 enterprises every
month. The data are then grossed up to represent the entire industrial population. The data on services, wholesale
and retail and construction are collected every quarter be means of another sample consisting of approximately
1,000 enterprises. The data on new permits are obtained from the Malta Environment and Planning Authority
(MEPA).
5.
Some figures are provisional and are subject to revision.

The LFS is designed to satisfy the concepts and definitions as outlined by Eurostat. This allows the comparability of the results with other EU Member
States and countries following ILO definitions of employment and unemployment. Occupations are classified according to the ISCO classification
(International Standard Classification of Occupations). From 2011, ISCO classification was updated to ISCO 08 in line with Eurostat requirements.
