Il-PDG mill-aspett tal-produzzjoni

Il-PDG jitkejjel billi jingħadd il-Valur Miżjud Gross (VMG) tal-ekonomija mad-differenza bejn it-Taxxi u s-sussidji fuq il-prodotti. Il-VMG huwa d-differenza bejn il-produzzjoni u l-konsum intermedju ta’ kull attività tal-ekonomija.

Matul it-tielet kwart tal-2023, il-VMG kiber b’4.7 fil-mija fʼtermini reali meta mqabbel mal-istess perjodu tal-2022.

Filwaqt li s-Servizzi (Taqsimiet tan-NACE minn G sa U) rreġistraw kontribut pożittiv ta’ 5.2 punti perċentwali, l-Industrija (Taqsimiet tan-NACE minn B sa F) u l-Agrikoltura u s-sajd (Taqsima tan-NACE A) irreġistraw kontribut negattiv ta’ 0.2 punti perċentwali għar-rata tat-tkabbir tal-VMG f’termini reali.

It-tkabbir fis-Servizzi kien dovut l-aktar għar-rati tat-tkabbir fʼdawn l-oqsma: l-Attivitajiet taʼ servizzi amministrattivi u taʼ sostenn (24.1 fil-mija), l-Attivitajiet finanzjarji u tal-assigurazzjoni (14.9 fil-mija) u l-Arti, divertiment u rikreazzjoni (7.7 fil-mija).

Il-PDG mill-aspett tan-nefqa

Il-PDG jiġi kkalkulat ukoll billi jingħaddu flimkien in-Nefqa fuq il-konsum finali, il-Formazzjoni ta’ kapital gross, u l-Esportazzjoni netta.

Id-domanda domestika kellha sehem negattiv taʼ 3.4 punti perċentwali fuq ir-rata tat-tkabbir tal-PDG fʼtermini reali meta mqabbla mal-istess perjodu tas-sena li għaddiet. Għall-kuntrarju, id-domanda esterna kellha sehem pożittiv taʼ 10.5 punti perċentwali.

Fit-tielet kwart tal-2023, in-Nefqa fuq il-konsum finali kibret bʼ5.6 fil-mija fʼtermini reali. Dan kien dovut l-aktar għaż-żieda taʼ 7.5 fil-mija fil-Konsum finali tal-Households u ż-żieda taʼ 0.7 fil-mija fil-konsum finali tal-Gvern Ġenerali.

Il-Formazzjoni tal-kapital gross naqset bʼ26.8 fil-mija fʼtermini reali. Dan it-tnaqqis hu attribwit l-aktar għal anqas investiment fit-tagħmir tat-Trasport.

L-esportazzjoni tal-merkanzija u s-servizzi, fʼtermini reali, żdiedet bʼ5.6 fil-mija, filwaqt li l-importazzjoni tal-merkanzija u s-servizzi naqset bʼ0.7 fil-mija.

Il-PDG mill-aspett tad-dħul

Il-PDG jiġi kkalkulat ukoll permezz tad-dħul, li huwa magħmul mill-Kumpens tal-impjegati, il-Qligħ mill-operat tal-intrapriżi u t-Taxxi netti fuq il-produzzjoni u l-importazzjoni.

Meta mqabbla mat-tielet kwart tal-2022, iż-żieda taʼ €610.2 miljun fil-PDG fʼtermini nominali kienet magħmula miż-żieda taʼ €184.0 miljun fil-Kumpens tal-impjegati, miż-żieda taʼ €260.6 miljun fil-Qligħ mill-operat tal-intrapriżi u l-Introjtu mħallat gross u miż-żieda taʼ €165.6 miljun fʼTaxxi netti fuq il-produzzjoni u l-importazzjoni.

Id-Dħul Nazzjonali Gross (DNG)

 Il-DNG huwa kejl differenti mill-PDG minħabba dħul barrani nett relatat mal-Kumpens tal-impjegati, Introjtu mill-proprjetà u Taxxi netti fuq il-produzzjoni u l-importazzjoni.

Meta jkunu kkunsidrati l-effetti tal-introjtu u t-taxxa mħallsa u rċevuta mir-residenti lejn u mill-bqija tad-dinja, id-DNG f’termini nominali għat-tielet kwart tal-2023 huwa stmat li ammonta għal €4,758.6 miljun.

Methodological Notes

1. The Gross Domestic Product for the second quarter of 2023 has been subject to an ad-hoc revision in national accounts data. Ad hoc revisions result mostly from the incorporation of new data sources to replace past estimates with more robust figures, and methodological improvements, which may cause more significant changes than those carried out in routine revisions. The results of 2018 are now considered definitive until the next benchmark revision.

Due to these modifications, it is not possible to compare the data in this news release with figures previously published.

2. The compilation of quarterly national accounts estimates in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.
 
Under normal circumstances, GDP estimates are based on established sources and estimation techniques, which have been tested and evaluated carefully, as well as documented. GDP is estimated independently from the output approach and expenditure approach, complemented by estimates of income-related data. These estimates are based on a multitude of sources such as tourism statistics, short-term statistics, trade and balance of payments statistics, as well as administrative data.
 
Eurostat and national statistical authorities in the European Statistical System (ESS) have been working hard together to elaborate guidelines and notes on how to address the statistical challenges brought about by COVID-19 and thereby ensure that European statistics continue to be based on sound foundations. These guidelines cover the compilation of national accounts, as well as important national accounts data sources, such as the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), the Labour Force Survey (LFS), short-term business statistics, and intra-EU trade in goods. NSO followed these guidelines to mitigate the impact resulting from this crisis, which meant delays in data availability, lower response rates and possible quality issues. In this way, it ensured that the data continued to capture economic developments in the most reliable manner.
 
In view of these unprecedented developments, a thorough examination was carried out on the imputation methods and models used in the compilation of national accounts, given that, in some cases, past correlations between indicators and macroeconomic statistics were not expected to hold anymore during the COVID-19 crisis. In absence of traditional sources, compilers had to make assumptions about industries which were fully or partially ‘closed’. Furthermore, statisticians referred to alternative or complementary information, such as business and consumer surveys, information from professional federations and administrative data, in order to fill in for gaps in the established data sources.
 
NSO is committed to maintain the usual dissemination pattern of quarterly national accounts with the most accurate estimates possible, however, it is important to bear in mind that first estimates may be subject to larger revisions than usual.

4. Data in this news release are in line with the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 manual (ISBN 978-92-79-31242-7). This system of accounts is mandatory for all EU Member States. The accounts are subject to audit by the European Court of Auditors and Eurostat’s GNI Committee to ensure reliability, comparability and exhaustiveness.
 
5. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an estimate of the value of goods and services at market prices produced in the economy over a period of time. The GDP is estimated in nominal terms using the production approach, aggregating the output of the various productive sectors net of the cost of intermediate inputs. The expenditure approach is reconciled with the production approach both in nominal and volume terms. GDP in volume terms excludes the effects of price inflation on market prices. The income approach shows how GDP is distributed into compensation of employees, operating surplus of enterprises and taxes on production and imports net of subsidies.
 
6. Data in this news release should be considered as provisional for 2019 to date.
 
7. The ESA 2010 GNI Inventory provides a detailed explanation of sources and methods used for estimating GNI in Malta. It is the basis for the Eurostat assessment of the quality and exhaustiveness of GNI data and their compliance with ESA 2010 in the context of the GNI for own resources purposes. The Inventory is a reference document that is kept up-to-date to reflect the latest methodology in place. Complementary to this inventory, process tables have been compiled for the reference year 2015. Process tables enable users to understand the compilation process of national accounts and thus shows the transition from basic data sources to final balanced national accounts figures. The GNI Inventory and the process tables are available online.
