  • Abstract
    Malta´s establishment of a Statistics Office in 1947 occurred amid political instability and an economic depression. The official compilation and timely publication of statistics by a central government agency - made possible by the introduction of tabulating equipment soon after the Office´s creation - proved invaluable for the development of a planned economy despite initial skepticism.
