Malta is steadily acquiring a reputation as a first-class European jurisdiction for financial services. In his opening statement in the Malta Financial Services Authority Report 2006, Chairman Prof. J. V. Bannister asserts that "Malta is a new player on the EU finance services stage, with just 18 months of membership up to the end of 2005. Nevertheless our presence is being felt and our competitive attractions increasingly recognized. We had good success in 2005 and all the trends point towards steady growth in EU finance businesses looking to Malta as a domicile and trading partner".

A few months down the line, Malta is implementing changes to its financial services legislation that have been vetted and approved by the European Commission and Ecofin and which augur well for the future of the industry and the jurisdiction.
