FINANCEMALTA
FinanceMalta, a non-profit public-private initiative, was formally set up as an autonomous Foundation on the 21st May 2007 with the scope of promoting Malta as a financial services centre, both locally and internationally. The Maltese financial services sector has grown rapidly during the last few years and is now a major force in the economy. Malta has significant strengths to offer the industry and there are numerous reasons to consider using Malta as a base for international operations: a well-trained, motivated workforce; a low-cost environment, an efficient tax regime, backed up by over forty double taxation agreements, a world-class ICT infrastructure, English as an official language, an enviable climate and a strategic location.
FinanceMalta’s main aim is to promote the Islands’ financial services brand, both within, as well as outside, Malta’s shores. It brings together, and harnesses, the resources of the industry and government, to ensure that Malta maintains a modern and effective legal, regulatory and fiscal framework in which the financial services sector can continue to grow and prosper.
The Maltese economy is a very open one in which foreign direct investment in many of its sectors is vital to its continued growth. The overriding climate is therefore one of encouraging and assisting inward investment particularly in key and targeted sectors such as financial services and related industries. Inward investment is encouraged and assisted across the board by Government and its agencies, the financial institutions and professions and among prospective local partners.
