The president of the Malta Chamber of Commerce and Industry, David Curmi, has called for foreign-owned companies operating in the financial services sector to interact with local companies.

Speaking at a conference organised by the German-Maltese Business Council, he augured that foreign operators would engage with the local companies they find when they first locate in Malta – not only because it is important for the company to build a strong and sustainable industry with local roots, but also because it is genuinely believed that Malta-based companies have a lot to offer companies that are new to the country’s shores.

He also stressed that the human resources situation in the financial services sector was a crucial issue to be addressed because Malta’s talent pool was what needed to sustain the country in the future.

The event focused on the importance of the financial services sector and was co-chaired by Malta Chamber Internationalisation Committee chairman Peter Grima and GMBC chairman Karl Aquilina.

It was supported by KPMG and Engel & Völkers by Sara Grech.
