Eurostat’s report on Malta’s economy

The last report issued by Eurostat analyzes Malta’s actual economic status and provides an overall image on how its economy will develop in the year to come. According to the report, Malta’s inflation figures are better than Cyprus, Spain and Greece’s due to the foreign trade balance and higher consumer prices. Malta’s economy had already indicated a slight growth throughout the summer months and the new figures come to show this growth is very likely to continue until the end of 2015 and beyond.

The labor market has also helped Malta’s economy and will continue to do so, as the Government committed to support the local workforce. This will most likely lead to increased purchase power and will further boost private consumption.

The foreign trade balance also provides for Malta’s economic increase, considering its exports rose by 8% during January and August. The main factor stimulating this increase is the fact that Maltese companies were helped to supply their products outside the EU market.
