MALTA: A PROFILE Malta comprises an archipelago of five islands: the island of Malta is the largest, followed by Gozo, Comino, Cominotto (Kemmunett), and Filfla. The latter two are uninhabited islets. The Maltese Islands are situated in the Central Mediterranean Sea, 93 kilometres south of Sicily and 290 kilometres north of Libya. The climate is a Mediterranean one characterised by hot, dry summers and cool winters with an annual average rainfall of nearly 476 millimetres. Temperatures are stable, the annual mean being 19°C and monthly averages ranging from 15°C to about 31°C in the summer months. Winds blow frequently over Malta. The most prevalent are the cool northwesterly known in the vernacular as il-majjistral, the dry northeasterly called il-grigal, and the hot southeasterly called ix-xlokk. Malta gained independence from Britain on 21 September 1964 when it also joined the Commonwealth. The country became a Republic on 13 December 1974. Its form of government is one legislative house, il-Kamra tad-Deputati, elected by Universal Suffrage for a term of five years. The Maltese economy progressed from one harnessed to the needs of the British colonial administration up to the mid-1960s, to a market-driven economy with an emphasis on higher value added economic activities in services, notably financial services and tourism. Challenges to the Islands’ economy are the relatively small domestic market and the disadvantages brought about by insularity. Major assets are a pleasant and attractive climate, and a qualified, skilled and hard-working labour force. The Maltese people have evolved through hundreds of years of domination by Arab, Norman, European and English administrators. An important legacy, evident especially in Maltese architectural heritage and culture, is the one bequeathed by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, who ruled the Islands from 1530 to 1798. The Knights’ memory is evoked especially in the walled cities of Malta, among which is Valletta, a living exposition of Baroque architecture. In spite of, or perhaps because of, these diverse influences, the people have retained their Malteseness, manifested in a rich array of folk festivals, village feasts, religious ceremonies and pageants such as those organised in the Easter period. These pageants feature events and characters from the Bible, and are a mixture of devotion and love of

worldly celebration. The people themselves have a warm and hospitable disposition, but also exhibit the hardihood and strong survival instincts of an island race. The sister island of Gozo bears a number of similarities to Malta, but also considerable diversity. In view of this, the Island is currently being promoted as an eco-island because it is more scenic, greener and quieter than the mainland. Gozo comprises a land area of 67 square kilometres, and a resident population of approximately 31,000. Gozitans have a very distinctive set of characteristics which include lifestyle, language intonations, folklore, as well as a robust tradition of cottage industries. For such a relatively small population and land area, Malta and Gozo teem with cultural events. Carnival dates back to at least the middle of the 15th Century and combines Maltese time-honoured traditions with contemporary dance and popular culture. The Notte Bianca or Lejl Imdawwal is organised every year, showcasing the auberges, palaces, churches, museums and the arts in Valletta among the Maltese people and visitors to the country. Its counterpart across the Channel is Notte Gozitana. Valletta, Malta’s capital city, has been named European Capital of Culture for 2018.

FOREWORD Malta in Figures 2012 is another edition of the popular annual pocketbook on the latest statistics published by the National Statistics Office, comprising key facts that are as diverse as the Maltese Islands themselves. In order to be useful to a wide spectrum of users, the data cover a range of statistical domains, from economic indicators, statistics on live births, marriages and deaths, to road casualties, the amount of rainfall, tourist arrivals and quality of life indicators. Environmental and agricultural statistics are included too. In the wake of the nomination of the city of Valletta as Europe’s Capital of Culture in 2018, more statistics on culture will be available. Such statistics will increase in future editions. At a European level, the NSO is also preparing the groundwork to compile the relevant indicators needed for the Europe 2020 targets. These will be integrated steadily up to 2020. I would like to thank all NSO staff members for their contribution to Malta in Figures 2012. This year again, the NSO seeks to promote local artists by the portrayal of one of their paintings on the book’s cover. Our appreciation is also due to all artists, past and present.

About the Artist Born in 1975, James Vella Clark has established himself as one of Malta’s expressionist interpreters of the Maltese urban and rural landscape. Since his first public exhibition in 2001, his works have been gradually gaining a more abstract dimension, and today the artist’s main idiom is abstraction which lends mostly to the abstract expressionist movement of the fifties and sixties. If we could speak of a movement or school of expressionism in Malta, Vella Clark would definitely belong to it. The themes in his canvasses are raw, and centre round the emotion, the weakness and vulnerability of the artist as a human being. “The artist is first and foremost human and his humanity, whether in its frail and vulnerable nature or in its inner strengths, is the central theme in most of his works.” Besides a number of solo exhibitions in Malta, Vella Clark has held personal exhibitions in Berlin (Germany), Kampen (Netherlands), Melbourne (Australia) and New York (US). Over the years he was also invited to participate in collective exhibitions in Barcelona, Florence, Brussels, Duisburg, Vienna, Mannheim, Ostend and Paris. In 2010, the artist hosted his first exhibition in Gozo, themed “Through Blue”. He was also commissioned to paint ten canvasses for a new 4-star hotel in St Julian’s, and in March 2011 he showed his latest series of landscapes at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In April of that year, the European Parliament in Brussels acquired one of Vella Clark’s works for permanent exposition.

James Vella Clark lives in and works from his studio in Valletta. Artist’s website: www.jamesvellaclark.net

Notes: (1) E. coli is short for Escherichia coli. Although these bacteria normally live in the intestines they can survive quite welloutside the body in faecally-contaminated environments such as water or mud.

(2) The Intestinal Enterococci group can be used as an index of faecal pollution. This group survives longer in waterenvironments than E. coli, and is more resistant to drying and to chlorination. Intestinal Enterococci have also been used totest water quality after repairs to water systems or the installation of new water mains.

3This is the volume index of GDP per capita in Purchasing Power Standards (PPS); it should be noted that this indicator has been rescaled i.e. data is

now expressed in relation to the European Union average set to equal 100 (EU27=100): thus they are not comparable with data based on EU25 = 100.

The per capita volume index represents the real volume of GDP in per capita terms in relation to the European Union (EU27) average set equal 100

CountryGDP per head in PPS

2

2GDP in terms of current prices, expressed in millions of PPS (Purchasing Power Standards). Expressing GDP in PPS (Purchasing Power Standards)

eliminates differences in price levels between countries, and calculations on a per head basis allows for the comparison of economies significantly

different in absolute size

1PPS is the artificial common reference currency unit used in the EU to express the volume of economic aggregates for the purpose of spatial

comparisons - the basic figures are expressed in PPS, i.e a common currency that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries allowing

volume comparisons between countries

Methodological Notes

1. The short-term indicators comprise a number of business cycle indicators showing the evolution of the market ofgoods and services in the economy. The indicators record the evolution of turnover, production, producer prices,employment, wages and salaries, and hours worked over long periods of time. The objective of these indicators isto measure the market activity in the industrial, construction and services sectors. These indicators are compiled asa "fixed-base-year Laspeyres type indices". The current base year is 2005. The data are not seasonally andworking-day adjusted.

2. Industrial activities are in line with section B, C, D and E of the statistical classificatin of economic activities. NACEdivisions 09, 19, 24 and and NACE group 30.90 have been excluded because of their negligible activity.Construction activities covered are in line with Section F. Services activities are covered by Sections G to N withthe exception of sections J and L. In line with the Short-term Statistics Regulation, the term 'Services' excludes,inter alia, Financial and Insurance Activities, Real Estate Activities and Gambling and Betting Activities.

3. Whereas industrial indicators are broken down by MIG (main industrial grouping) classification, Construction andServices activities are broken down by NACE division (2-digit) and section levels respectively. The MIGs arebroken down as follows:

- Intermediate goods;

- Energy;

- Consumer goods;

- Capital goods;

- Durable consumer goods;

- Non-durable consumer goods.

4. The data for industry are collected by means of a representative sample of approximately 320 enterprises everymonth. The data are then grossed up to represent the entire industrial population. The data on services, wholesaleand retail and construction are collected every quarter be means of another sample consisting of approximately1,000 enterprises. The data on new permits are obtained from the Malta Environment and Planning Authority(MEPA).

5. Figures for the last 2 years, including the reference year, are to be considered as provisional and are subject torevision.
