A survey held by the EU throughout the Eurozone showed a high
level of optimism with regards to consumer sentiment in Malta.
Malta achieved the highest consumer sentiment in the Eurozone for
the 11th consecutive month with an index of 118, 18%
higher than the Eurozone average.
The consumer sentiment index is a statistical measurement as
well as an indicator of economic health as perceived by
consumers.
The government received the statistics very positively and noted
that the Maltese respondents showed optimism towards practically
every sector in the economy, particularly the retail and
construction sectors. These two sectors have been achieving the
highest scores ever since the survey started being held. In
addition, financial services operators in Malta were the
most optimistic throughout the eurozone.
