Din l-istqarrija tal-aħbarijiet tinkludi reviżjoni ppjanata taʼ importanza akbar marbuta mat-tiġdid tas-sena bażi li kienet imħabbra fl-Avviż taʼ Tagħrif għall-Istampa tal-20 taʼ Frar 2024. Din l-attività taʼ rutina, li ssir kull ħames snin, tiżgura l-konsistenza u r-reqqa tal-istatistika bikrija tan-negozju. Il-perjodu ta’ riferenza tal-indiċi ġie aġġornat minn 2015=100 għall-2021=100.
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
FʼJannar tal-2024, l-indiċi tal-produzzjoni industrijali naqas bʼ5.5 fil-mija meta mqabbel mal-istess xahar tal-2023. Meta kienet eskluża l-enerġija, l-indiċi naqas bʼ5.1 fil-mija (Ċart nru 1).

Il-Produzzjoni tal-Manifattura – Tqabbil mas-sena taʼ qabel
FʼJannar tal-2024, il-produzzjoni tal-manifattura naqset bʼ5.9 fil-mija. L-akbar tnaqqis kien irreġistrat fil-produzzjoni taʼ prodotti tal-kompjuters, tal-elettronika u tal-vista, u taʼ vetturi bil-mutur (19.0 fil-mija). Wara dan, kien hemm tnaqqis fil-produzzjoni tal-injam, tal-prodotti tal-karta u l-istampar (16.2 fil-mija) u fil-produzzjoni taʼ manufattura oħra (6.0 fil-mija). Min-naħa l-oħra, il-produzzjoni ta’ prodotti kimiċi u tal-farmaċewtika; il-produzzjoni taʼ prodotti tal-lastku, tal-plastik u prodotti oħra minerali mhux tal-metall; u l-produzzjoni taʼ prodotti tal-ikel u tax-xorb żdiedu bi 8.5 fil-mija, bʼ6.3 fil-mija u bʼ5.9 fil-mija, rispettivament (Ċart nru 2).

Il-Produzzjoni Industrijali – Tqabbil mas-sena taʼ qabel mqassam bl-iggruppar industrijali ewlieni
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 metodoloġika għal aktar tagħrif).
FʼJannar tal-2024, il-produzzjoni tal-enerġija, tal-oġġetti kapitali u tal-oġġetti tal-konsum naqsu bi 17.0 fil-mija, bʼ10.9 fil-mija u bʼ5.4 fil-mija, rispettivament. Għall-kuntrarju taʼ dan, kien hemm żieda taʼ 5.5 fil-mija fil-produzzjoni tal-oġġetti intermedji (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 l-punti metodoloġiċi 5 u 6).
FʼJannar tal-2024, l-indiċi tal-produzzjoni industrijali aġġustat għall-effetti tal-istaġun naqas bʼ9.4 fil-mija meta mqabbel maʼ Diċembru tal-2023 sabiex laħaq 102.9 punti (2021=100) (Ċart nru 4).

This news release features a major planned revision linked to the rebasing exercise communicated in the Press Information Notice dated 20 February 2024. This routine major activity, conducted every five years, ensures the consistency and accuracy of short-term business statistics. The index reference period was updated from 2015=100 to 2021=100.
Methodological Notes
1. This news release features a major planned revision linked to the rebasing exercise communicated in the Press Information Notice dated 20 February 2024. This routine major activity, conducted every five years, ensures the consistency and accuracy of short-term business statistics. The index reference period was updated from 2015=100 to 2021=100.
2. This 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.
This news release is being published with the new base year 2021=100. Hence, indices cannot be directly compared to previous news releases published with base year 2015=100.
3. 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.
4. The sample covers 80 per cent of the total industrial turnover and the number of surveyed businesses is around 200. A combination of cut-off and stratified random sampling techniques are used. The volume of industrial production is calculated using three methods: the physical quantities of output, the deflated turnover and the number of hours worked.
5. In this news release, Energy refers to NACE D35 only – 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 excludes the electricity supply imported via the Malta-Sicily Interconnector.
6. Year-on-year comparisons refer to indices that are calendar adjusted, while month-on-month comparisons refer to calendar and seasonally-adjusted index numbers. 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.
7. 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.
8. The average weighted response rate for this indicator is around 80%. The data is to be considered as provisional and therefore subject to revision.
9. 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 |
