MATTHEW VELLA
MALTA'S economy has recovered
strongly following its worst recession
in decades due to the COVID-19 pan-
demic, with economic output growing
by 113% in 2021.
e declaration came from the Inter-
national Monetary Fund, in another Ar-
ticle IV consultation, the regular round-
ups of economic health the World Bank
carries out with countries.
And while inflation has picked up, it
remained among the lowest in the euro
area, reflecting the government's policy
to freeze retail electricity and fuel prices
for all consumers.
GDP growth is expected to slow down
in 2023 due to lower consumer purchas-
ing power, dampening domestic de-
mand and weakening external demand
from Europe.
