What This Means

QGI found 1,810historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a trade agreement event. Malta's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean Malta will experience trade agreement. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in Malta's current data. Analysts should examine the underlying evidence and apply domain expertise.

QGI surfaces economically-grounded risk candidates that analysts should examine. Risk tiers reflect historical precedent density, not probability forecasts.
