FinanceMalta

Established in 2007, FinanceMalta is a non-profit public-private initiative dedicated to promoting Malta as an international financial and business hub, both locally and globally.

By uniting industry and government resources, FinanceMalta ensures that Malta maintains a robust legal, regulatory, and fiscal framework that supports the continued growth of the financial services and fintech sectors.

FinanceMalta emerged at a pivotal moment—just as Malta joined the Eurozone. Today, financial services play a crucial role in the country’s economy. Malta offers several key advantages, including a highly skilled workforce, a cost-effective business environment, and an attractive tax system supported by over 70 double taxation agreements. These benefits are complemented by a world-class ICT infrastructure, English as an official language, a favorable climate, and a strategic Mediterranean location.
