L-Indiċi tal-Produzzjoni Industrijali (IIP): April 2026
L-Indiċi tal-Produzzjoni Industrijali (IIP): April 2026
L-Indiċi tal-Produzzjoni Industrijali (IIP) huwa indikatur taċ-ċiklu tan-negozju. Kull xahar, huwa jieħu qies bikri tat-tibdil fil-volum tal-produzzjoni industrijali tan-negozji domestiċi fil-manifattura, l-enerġija, u l-barrieri fʼMalta.
Il-Produzzjoni Industrijali Sħiħa – Tqabbil mas-sena taʼ qabel
FʼApril 2026, l-indiċi tal-produzzjoni industrijali żdied bʼ7.3 fil-mija meta mqabbel maʼ April 2025. Meta kienet eskluża l-enerġija, l-indiċi telaʼ bi 8.2 fil-mija (Tabella nru 1 u Ċart nru 1).
Il-Produzzjoni tal-Manifattura – Tqabbil mas-sena taʼ qabel bʼoqsma magħżula
FʼApril 2026, il-produzzjoni tal-manifattura żdiedet bi 8.1 fil-mija. L-akbar żieda kienet irreġistrata fil-produzzjoni tal-injam, prodotti tal-karta u l-istampar (62.9 fil-mija). Wara dawn, kien hemm żieda fil-produzzjoni taʼ prodotti tal-kompjuters, tal-elettronika u tal-vista, u taʼ vetturi bil-mutur (34.9 fil-mija), u ta’ prodotti tal-ikel u tax-xorb (13.0 fil-mija). Min-naħa l-oħra, kien irreġistrat tnaqqis fil-produzzjoni taʼ manifattura oħra (14.6 fil-mija) u taʼ prodotti tal-lastku, plastik u prodotti oħra minerali mhux tal-metall (13.6 fil-mija) (Ċart nru 2).
Il-Produzzjoni Industrijali – Tqabbil mas-sena taʼ qabel maqsum bil-gruppi industrijali ewlenin
Il-Gruppi Industrijali Ewlenin (MIGs) jagħtu analiżi alternattiva tal-istatistika tal-attivitajiet ekonomiċi kklassifikati skont kategoriji taʼ użu aħħari. Huma jgħaqqdu flimkien diversi taqsimiet, gruppi u klassijiet tan-NACE (ara t-tabella fil-metodoloġija għal aktar tagħrif).
FʼApril 2026, l-akbar żieda fil-produzzjoni kienet irreġistrata fl-oġġetti intermedji (11.0 fil-mija). Wara dawn, kien hemm l-oġġetti tal-konsum (7.6 fil-mija). Għall-kuntrarju taʼ dawn, il-produzzjoni tal-enerġija u tal-oġġetti kapitali niżlet bʼ9.2 fil-mija u bi 2.1 fil-mija, rispettivament (Ċart nru 3).
Il-Produzzjoni Industrijali aġġustata għall-effetti tal-istaġun – Tqabbil max-xahar taʼ qabel
Dehra aktar ċara tal-iżviluppi ekonomiċi tistaʼ tinkiseb meta l-indiċijiet ikunu aġġustati għall-effetti tal-istaġun. Dawn l-effetti, li jitfaċċaw minn żmien għal żmien, jitneħħew mis-serje tal-indiċi sabiex ikunu jistgħu jsiru l-paraguni xahar maʼ xahar (ara punti nri 5 u 6 fil-metodoloġija).
FʼApril 2026, l-indiċi tal-produzzjoni industrijali aġġustat għall-effetti tal-istaġun telaʼ bʼ5.2 fil-mija meta mqabbel maʼ Marzu 2026 u kien taʼ 123.5 punt (2021=100) (Tabella nru 3 u Ċart nru 4).

Methodological Notes
1. The Index of Industrial Production is a Principal European Economic Indicator (PEEI) and is compiled in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 and Commission Implementing Regulation 2020/1197 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Business Statistics. The NSO has also adopted methodologies and guidelines recommended by Eurostat and the United Nations.
2. The Maltese Index of Industrial Production is calculated using a Laspeyres-type index (2021=100). Aggregation weights are updated every five years and the gross value added is used as the weighting variable. The whole series is available from the year 2000 onwards.
3. The sample covers 80 per cent of the total industrial turnover, and around 200 business units are surveyed. A combination of cut-off and stratified random sampling techniques is used. The volume of industrial production is calculated using three methods: physical quantities of output, deflated turnover, and number of hours worked.
4. In this news release, Energy refers only to NACE D35 – Electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply. It excludes B05 – Mining of coal and lignite; B06 – Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas; C19 – Manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products; and E36 – Water collection, treatment, and supply. The index also excludes electricity supplied via the Malta-Sicily Interconnector.
5. Year-on-year comparisons refer to indices that are calendar adjusted, while month-on-month comparisons refer to calendar and seasonally adjusted indices. These adjustments aid the interpretation of data by removing regularly recurring variations from a time series. The officially recommended software JDemetra+ is used to adjust all series in this news release.
6. The calendar effect is the variation caused by the changing number of working/trading days, fixed and moving holidays, leap year and other calendar-related phenomena. The seasonal effect is the variation caused by any pattern that repeats on a regular basis in the same period each year.
7. The average weighted response rate for this indicator is around 80 per cent. The data is to be considered as provisional and therefore subject to revision.
8. The aggregation weights (gross value added) of the various categories used for the calculation of the Index of Industrial Production for the year 2021 (base year) are as follows:
| NACE Section | NACE Divisions | Description | Share |
| B | 8 | Mining and Quarrying | 0.01 |
| C | 13, 14, 25, 27, 28 and 31 to 33 | Other manufacturing | 0.31 |
| 10 and 11 | Food products and beverages | 0.13 | |
| 26 and 29 | Computer, electronic and optical products and motor vehicles | 0.17 | |
| 22 to 23 | Rubber, plastic products and other non-metallic mineral products | 0.13 | |
| 16 to 18 | Wood, paper products and printing | 0.11 | |
| 20 and 21 | Chemicals and pharmaceuticals products | 0.09 | |
| D | 35 | Energy | 0.07 |
| Total (Sections B, C and D) | 1.00 |
| Main Industrial Grouping | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Capital goods | Capital goods are physical assets used by businesses to produce consumer (final) goods. | Machinery equipment |
| Intermediate goods | Intermediate goods, also called semi-finished goods, are products used as inputs to produce a consumer (final) good. | Rubber and plastic products |
| Consumer goods | Consumer goods, also called final goods, are products that are readily available for consumption by consumers. These goods do not undergo further transformation in production. | Food products and beverages |
| Energy | Energy refers to the production of electricity. | Electricity excluding supply imported via the Malta-Sicily Interconnector |
9. The calculation of the percentage changes from the indices table may slightly differ from the published percentage changes due to rounding.
