Unit of Measurement:

Footnote: Notes: 1. Domestic Material Consumption is sourced from Malta's reporting to the Economy-Wide Material Flow Accounts questionnaire that is submitted annually to Eurostat. 2. Average population is worked out as the arithmetic average of the end-of-year total population figures for two consecutive years. 3. GDP data refers to the production (output) side in chain-linked volumes by period (reference year 2020).

This table provides information on metadata for SDG indicators as defined by the UN Statistical Commission. Complete global metadata is provided by the UN Statistics Division.
