Positioned for Success

The main drivers for setting up the activity in Malta:

• Malta is an EU member state
• Has low interest rate environment and limited fixed income issuance by government and corporates
• Strong regulatory and Anti-money laundering regime in place
• The Individual Investor Programme (IIP) and Malta Residence and Visa Programme (MRVP) schemes have provided a flow of high-net-worth individuals being referred to local investment services providers

Expected Growth

EU Reports indicate that the Maltese economy will continue to grow, and as a result, the market for investments is expected to develop accordingly, gradually becoming more mature. Main drivers for expected investment are:

• The growth and diversification of Malta’s financial sector due to increased interest by foreign investors
• The regulatory and economic uncertainty surrounding the future of traditional financial hubs, such as the City of London, spurred by Brexit, has initiated a re-domiciliation or co-location by several funds
• Greater flows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from Government programmes such as the IIP and MRVP, as well as industrial projects that increase exports and local jobs, are bolstering the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
