MFSA issues first volume of journal of Financial Supervisors Academy

The 150-page Journal of Financial Supervisors Academy has contributions from distinguished professionals and academics from both local and international entities, ensuring that it will be of value to supervisors, policymakers, academics, lawyers, and economists worldwide. It is being led by an editorial board comprising Prof. Christopher P. Buttigieg (MFSA and University of Malta; Dr Gerd Sapiano (MFSA); and Samantha Cuyle (MFSA).

Part of the official launch was a roundtable with leading academics from Europe, the UK and beyond, who shared valuable insights on the Journal’s role in bridging academia and supervisory practice. A copy of the publication was also presented to H.E. The President of Malta Myriam Spiteri Debono.

The first volume, dedicated to Regulatory and Compliance Insights, has 10 contributions on: Digital Finance; Capital Markets; Independence of Regulators; and Collaboration between National Competent Authorities and Universities. These are presented through research articles, expert commentary, and case studies.

The MFSA is now working on the second volume, which will explore emerging themes such as geopolitical risks, cross-border supervision, technology and resilience, and simplification and burden reduction. Contributions are accepted until 19 December 2025.
