Maltese capital market in Madrid
The Maltese capital market was the main topic of a seminar held in Madrid, entitled ‘Malta – a Growing Capital Market Jurisdiction in the EU’. The seminar was organised by the Malta Stock Exchange in cooperation with Finance Malta and under the auspices of the Embassy of Malta in Spain.
The seminar focused on recent developments, current trends and future prospects of the Maltese financial services industry, with a specific focus on Malta’s financial services sector, Malta’s capital market, the Maltese legal and regulatory framework and post-trading infrastructure.
The Malta Stock Exchange also launched its new capital market platform, Prospects, which offers SMEs access to the capital market as well as systems to address succession-planning issues.
