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 19°C and monthly averages ranging from 15°C to about 31°C 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, Malta’s 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 public’s awareness of and trust in official statistics, a relationship that is crucial to the proper functioning of the country’s 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. Michael Pace Ross Director General October 2013

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

Table 34. Gross Domestic Product per capita in Purchasing Power Standards 1
(EU27=100)3
1 PPS is the artificial common reference currency unit used in the EU to express the volume of economic aggregates for the purpose of spatialcomparisons - the basic figures are expressed in PPS, i.e a common currency that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries allowingvolume comparisons between countries
3 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 isnow expressed in relation to the European Union average set to equal 100 (EU27=100). The per capita volume index represents the real volume of GDPin per capita terms in relation to the European Union (EU27) average set equal 100
CountryGDP per head in PPS2
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 significantlydifferent in absolute size

Methodological Notes
1. The short-term indicators comprise a number of business cycle indicators showing the evolution of the market ofgoods 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 tomeasure 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 working-day adjusted.
2. Industrial activities are in line with section B, C, D and E of the statistical classification of economic activities. NACEdivisions 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 theexception of sections J and L. In line with the Short-term Statistics Regulation, the term 'Services' excludes, interalia, 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 andServices activities are broken down by NACE division (2-digit) and section levels respectively. The MIGs are brokendown 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 everymonth. The data are then grossed up to represent the entire industrial population. The data on services, wholesaleand retail and construction are collected every quarter be means of another sample consisting of approximately1,000 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 MemberStates 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.
