Real Economy Indicators

Real economy indicators measure the production, employment, and consumption of goods and services in a country, adjusted for inflation. Key metrics include Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment and unemployment rates, retail price indices (inflation), and sector-specific outputs. They provide a comprehensive record of the main economic activities taking place within an economy and of the interaction between the different groups of economic agents.

This section includes a wide range of statistics mainly related to the Maltese economy. These statistics present, in a condensed way, information about the economy classified according to economic principles.
