“The MFSA Strategic Statement sets out a clear direction for the Authority as we navigate the continuously changing landscape in the financial services industry. Malta’s size and agility as a jurisdiction should enable it to adapt to this changing scenario and ensure that all stakeholders can rely on and contribute towards its flexibility, resilience and soundness as a jurisdiction.”

“This strategy is a result of contributions from the MFSA staff as well as our consultations with industry and consumer associations, and other regulatory bodies. We will continue to cultivate a healthy and open dialogue with our peers, market operators, consumers and the general public to keep our focus relevant, timely, and trained on achieving the outcomes that fulfill our statutory mandate.”
