What this value means
HICP +2.0% y/y for June 2026, easing from 2.1% in May and 2.5% in April - the lowest of the euro-area countries added to this API today. BASIS NOTE, AND IT MATTERS LEGALLY: Malta's own Retail Price Index (RPI), published by the NSO, is the LEGALLY OPERATIVE series - it drives the statutory cost-of-living adjustment and therefore the minimum wage. HICP is not a substitute for that purpose. The RPI is not carried here because nso.gov.mt refuses automated reads.
