As the first month of 2024 unfolds, FinanceMalta organised a meeting for its members to come together in its first networking event of the year, during which they were also offered a sneak peek into the opportunities and events ahead. Over 200 people registered for the event that laid the foundation for a successful and collaborative journey in the coming months.

FinanceMalta Chairman George Vella hailed the event a success, as he commented: “Our members are crucial in our promotional efforts overseas, and we want to support them as much as possible. The members’ meeting was an opportunity, among others, to inform them about what we are planning to do over 2024, so that they can plan in advance their international activities for the next 12 months. The response in 2023 was overwhelming, and we look forward to further strengthening our cooperation with all our members”.

The members were welcomed to the meeting by FinanceMalta’s new Chief Operations Officer Graziella Grech, who emphasised the commitment to providing members with opportunities of visibility through local and international events. Ms Grech pointed out: “The active involvement of members is indispensable to achieve the overarching objective of promoting Malta as an International Financial Centre, hence the importance of this meeting. The feedback from the activities of the previous year has proven to be remarkably encouraging, filling us with resolve and optimism for the year ahead.”
