2025 was a bad year for local manufacturing industries with various factories closing down mainly due to new US tariffs. Industrial production was also highly inconsistent but a downward trend has now become dominant. Production of food has remained consistently higher. Exports to Turkey have also helped offset the decline of exports to the US.
Meanwhile, the NSO also reported that according to the Industrial Price Index, goods produced by the industries in Malta were 0.1% cheaper compared to the same month last year.
