In August 2025, Malta experienced a 0.1% decrease in producer prices compared to the previous year. This marks a shift from the fifteen-year peak increase of 0.5% observed in July.

Additionally, there was a more moderate price increase for consumer goods, especially non-durable goods, which rose by 1.1% instead of 1.5%. Conversely, producer inflation for capital goods continued to rise, reaching 3% from 2.5%, while there was no change in the energy sector, remaining stable at 0%.
