FinanceMalta has reaffirmed its position as a leading financial hub after hosting over 50 local and international events throughout 2024, culminating in a landmark reception at London’s Guildhall attended by more than 600 global delegates. The organization has already lined up 35 new events for 2025, as part of its ongoing strategy to enhance Malta’s reputation on the international financial stage.
“A lot of important work is being done which underscores FinanceMalta’s commitment to strengthening the country’s presence on the global financial stage and to make our jurisdiction an attractive proposition to new international investors and operators,” said Graziella Grech, Chief Operating Officer at FinanceMalta, during the association’s 2025 Members’ Meeting. The gathering provided a platform to review the past year’s successes and outline strategic plans for the year ahead.
Speaking to an audience of over 300 delegates, Ms. Grech highlighted FinanceMalta’s extensive initiatives in 2024, which were designed to connect Maltese financial players with global opportunities. She emphasized how the organization’s efforts align with the Malta Financial Services Advisory Council (MFSAC) strategy, aiming to boost the country’s financial services sector through strategic international engagement.
“Through our efforts, FinanceMalta continued to demonstrate its commitment to empower its members. We have enabled more than 300 members to access prominent platforms both locally and internationally, boosting their visibility, fostering valuable connections, and increasing their influence across key markets with participation in discussions that are shaping the future of financial services,” said Ms. Grech.
Looking ahead, FinanceMalta has committed to participating in 35 high-profile international events in 2025, including prestigious conferences such as Money 20/20 in Amsterdam, the ESG Europe Summit in Vienna, and SIBOS in Frankfurt. These engagements are expected to further elevate Malta’s standing as a competitive and attractive financial jurisdiction.
Commenting on the recent decision by cryptocurrency exchange Gemini to relocate to Malta, Ms. Grech noted that the move underscores the nation’s growing appeal as a financial hub. “This development not only affirms Malta’s strengthening reputation as a top financial hub but also shows how the country’s crypto-friendly laws are providing the needed legal clarity sought by cryptocurrencies and blockchain companies,” she said.
She further expressed confidence that Gemini’s relocation would serve as a catalyst for further investment in Malta’s financial ecosystem. “We are very confident that Gemini’s move to Malta is already sending a very positive signal in the industry and should continue to bolster the country’s growing appeal as a hub for this growing sector and other emerging industries.”
As FinanceMalta continues to drive innovation and collaboration within the financial sector, Ms. Grech reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to delivering tangible value to its members. “FinanceMalta is more than a supporter to its members. We want to deliver a clear roadmap for 2025 and by promoting innovation, by fostering collaboration, and by strengthening Malta’s reputation as a leading financial jurisdiction, we aim to continue delivering more value to our members and the wider financial community,” she concluded.
