Economic and Financial Data For Malta
Last updated: 31.08.2026
Special Data Dissemination Standard Plus (SDDS plus)
The Special Data Dissemination Standard was established by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to guide member countries that have, or that might seek, access to international capital markets in the provision of their economic and financial data to the public.
In February 2012, the IMF Executive Board approved the establishment of the SDDS Plus to address data gaps revealed during the global crisis. On 31st July 2023, Malta became SDDS plus compliant. The SDDS Plus is the highest tier in the Fund’s Data Standards Initiatives and is open to all SDDS subscribers; especially those with systemically important financial sectors. In addition to the requirements under the SDDS, the SDDS Plus requires the dissemination of nine additional data categories and the availability of such information in SDMX format.
A member country’s subscription to the SDDS and adherence to the SDDS plus are voluntary. However, they carry a commitment by the subscribing members to observe the Standards and to provide certain information to the IMF about their practices in disseminating economic and financial data.
The data shown in this page correspond to the data described on the International Monetary Fund’s Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB). For a full explanation of the DSBB and the statistical standards to which Malta has committed, please click on DSBB homepage.
The statistics presented in this page are produced by the National Statistics Office (NSO) and the Central Bank of Malta (CBM).
