Banking Act Cap. 371
About Malta
The economy is dependent on foreign trade, manufacturing, especially electronics and pharmaceuticals, tourism and financial services.
The financial business sector with financial services include banking, investment fund management, trust management, shipping and investment holding.
Malta has taken steps to enhance the competitiveness and soundness of a financial sector that is now about eight times the size of the economy.
The banking sector has weathered the European sovereign debt turmoil relatively well with no need for capital injections. Malta's offshore regime was discontinued in 1996.
