CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is pleased to present its report on its activities and operations in 2012. It was a year of further consolidation in Malta's standing as a successful, stable, skilled and reliable financial services economy. New direct intermediation jobs were created and a number of sub-sectors saw very marked growth. The great majority of businesses involved in finance continued to thrive and none of any significance in terms of jobs, activity or turnover ceased to exist. The overwhelming majority of businesses operated to the very high standards expected in Malta. Those that fell short were handled with full impartiality and fair penalties imposed as appropriate to each case.
