IFS-Malta lecturers at Romania courses

IFS-Malta is providing lecturers for a number of presentations for students following post-graduate banking and finance courses organised by the Romanian Institute for Studies on Finance and Banking (ISFB).

The first series of lectures delivered at the ISFB was undertaken by Renè G. Saliba, who is the Director, Financial Markets Division at the Central Bank of Malta. His lectures were very topical due to Romania's recent entry into the EU, as they revolved on the theme "the relationship between the banking sector and the capital markets within the European Union - Malta as a case study." The next series of lectures is expected to be delivered in April.

Mr Saliba was accompanied by IFS-Malta committee member Victor Rizzo Giusti, who held various meetings with top officials of the Romanian Banking Institute (RBI) and ISFB to explore the possibility of extending this cooperation to other areas of mutual interest.

The initial contact with the two Romanian institutes was made through IFS-Malta's successful participation in an EU-funded project, which RBI was one of the main coordinators.
