Firms in the services and construction sectors surveyed by the Central Bank have reported a rise in turnover, profits and employment between the June and September quarters.

Looking ahead, respondents generally expect turnover to rise again and that they will increase their workforce in the final quarter of the year.

The bank yesterday published the third issue of its Quarterly Review for 2007, which analyses economic and financial developments both here and abroad during the second quarter of this year and into the third.

The review is available at www.centralbankmalta.com/site/publications1.asp.
