Wara l-aġġustar għall-effetti tal-istaġun u l-għadd taʼ jiem tax-xogħol, l-indiċi totali tal-fatturat tas-servizzi niżel bʼ0.9 fil-mija bejn ir-rabaʼ kwart tal-2025 u l-ewwel kwart tal-2026.

Kien irreġistrat tnaqqis fil-fatturat tal-attivitajiet tal-proprjetà immobbli (8.8 fil-mija), tat-trasport u l-ħażna (6.4 fil-mija), tal-kummerċ bl-ingrossa (6.0 fil-mija), tal-attivitajiet professjonali, xjentifiċi u tekniċi (2.8 fil-mija), tal-informazzjoni u l-komunikazzjoni (2.3 fil-mija), u tal-attivitajiet taʼ servizz amministrattiv u taʼ sostenn (0.8 fil-mija). Min-naħa l-oħra, il-fatturat żdied fil-kummerċ tal-vetturi bil-mutur (5.1 fil-mija), fl-attivitajiet taʼ servizz tal-akkomodazzjoni u tal-ikel (1.4 fil-mija), u fil-kummerċ bl-imnut (0.9 fil-mija) (Tabella nru 1).

Bejn ir-rabaʼ kwart tal-2025 u l-ewwel kwart tal-2026, in-numru taʼ persuni impjegati (Tabella nru 3) u s-sigħat maħduma (Tabella nru 7) naqsu bi 3.5 fil-mija u bʼ1.7 fil-mija, rispettivament, filwaqt li l-pagi u s-salarji gross (Tabella nru 5) telgħu bʼ1.2 fil-mija.

Tqabbil mas-sena taʼ qabel

Matul l-ewwel kwart tal-2026, l-indiċi tal-fatturat sħiħ tas-servizzi rreġistra żieda taʼ 4.5 fil-mija fuq bażi annwali wara l-aġġustar għall-għadd taʼ jiem tax-xogħol.

L-akbar żieda fil-fatturat kienet irreġistrata fl-attivitajiet tal-proprjetà immobbli (22.4 fil-mija). Wara dawn, kien hemm l-attivitajiet taʼ servizz tal-akkomodazzjoni u tal-ikel (12.3 fil-mija), il-kummerċ tal-vetturi bil-mutur (10.1 fil-mija), l-attivitajiet taʼ servizz amministrattiv u taʼ sostenn (9.5 fil-mija), il-kummerċ bl-imnut (7.1 fil-mija), il-kummerċ bl-ingrossa (3.5 fil-mija), l-informazzjoni u l-komunikazzjoni (3.0 fil-mija), u t-trasport u l-ħażna (2.7 fil-mija). Għall-kuntrarju taʼ dan, kien irreġistrat tnaqqis taʼ 2.4 fil-mija fl-attivitajiet professjonali, xjentifiċi u tekniċi (Tabella nru 2).

Meta mqabblin mal-ewwel kwart tal-2025, l-indikaturi dwar in-numru taʼ persuni impjegati (Tabella nru 4) u s-sigħat maħduma (Tabella nru 8) naqsu bʼ1.8 fil-mija u bʼ1.9 fil-mija, rispettivament. Madankollu, il-pagi u s-salarji gross żdiedu bi 3.2 fil-mija (Tabella nru 6).

Methodological Notes

1. The aim of this news release is to provide information on the business cycle within the services sector. The results are compiled and published according to the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community, NACE Rev. 2.
 
2. Questionnaires are sent to approximately 900 business units categorised within the services sector. The data is then grossed up to represent the entire services population. For each NACE division (for example NACE Division 45 for motor trade), a sample was selected. Business units are asked to provide information on turnover, employment, hours worked, and wages and salaries. For NACE Section L (real estate activities), the contracts data from the Inland Revenue Department is also used. The indices were calculated for each division, showing the level of the specified variable (for example employment) relative to the average level throughout the base year 2021.
 
3. The index numbers in this news release are working-day and seasonally adjusted. These statistical methods aid in the interpretation of data by removing regularly recurring variations from a time series. Working-day adjustment is a statistical method for removing the calendar effect from an economic time series. The calendar effect is the variation caused by the changing number of working days in different quarters. When there are no working-day or seasonal adjustments to be made, the index is published in its unadjusted form.
 
4. The number of working days for a given quarter may depend on the timing of certain public holidays, the possible overlap of certain public holidays and non-working days and the occurrence of a leap year. This method is used to make a comparison with the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
 
5. Seasonal adjustment removes variations which include effects due to quarter length, holidays and particular events such as Christmas. Statistically, seasonal adjustment takes place after a time series has already been cleared of calendar effects by way of working-day adjustment. This method is used to compare data for a specific quarter with the previous quarter. In seasonal and working-day adjustment, the direct approach is used, since adjustments are made directly to the individual indices.
 
6. In line with the Regulation on Short-term Business Statistics, services exclude Financial and insurance activities and Gambling and betting activities.
 
7. Definitions:
● Turnover: includes total sales and other income and is expressed net of VAT. Turnover is presented in current prices.
● Gross wages and salaries: covers wages and salaries including bonuses, weekly allowances (cost of living allowances), overtime and national social security contributions by the employee. It does not include employers’ social security contributions.
● Employment: covers all persons employed, regardless of whether they are part-time or full-time, and includes paid employees as well as working proprietors and unpaid family workers. Employment is not working-day adjusted since the number of employees does not depend on factors that make up the working-day effect.
● Hours worked: covers total amount of hours actually worked, regular working hours and during overtime, nights, Sundays or public holidays. Hours worked but not paid are also considered.
 
8. The data contained in this news release should be considered as provisional and subject to revision. For an updated time series which includes past data, please refer to the Selected Indicators for this domain.
