A perspective of the island from the financial service
operators based in Italy and Switzerland
I have spent over two decades working and collaborating with
different Maltese entities with the aim to promote Malta as an
international financial centre, and to bring forth the several
advantages that the island has to offer to foreign financial
operators and investors.
During these years, I had the opportunity to experience the
evolution and development of the jurisdiction from a financial
services domicile perspective, which passed through some crucial
steps.
Malta's accession to the EU in 2004 and as a Eurozone
country as from 2008 was delivered by the Government and was fully
supported by the financial regulatory Authority, aiming to enable
Malta to leave behind its offshore past, while presenting itself as
an attractive, alternative European financial jurisdiction in the
international space.
