Malta Producer Deflation Slows in May

Malta’s producer prices fell by 0.4% year-on-year in May 2025, slowing from a 0.6% drop in the previous month.

This marked the fifth consecutive month of decline albeit at a softer pace, mainly due to a slower decrease for intermediate goods (-3.6% vs -5% in April).

Additionally, costs continued to increase for capital goods (0.7% vs 2.5%).

Meanwhile, producer inflation remained unchanged for consumer goods (at 2%), particularly non-durable goods (at 2.2%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices went down by 0.5% in May, reversing a 0.2% gain in the preceding period.
