The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) serves as Malta’s sole regulator of financial services, established by law in 2002 after taking over supervision from the Central Bank of Malta, the Malta Stock Exchange, and the Malta Financial Services Centre. It operates as an autonomous public institution that reports to Parliament on an annual basis. The MFSA oversees a broad scope of financial activity in Malta, including credit institutions, electronic money and other financial services, securities and investment firms, regulated markets, insurance, pension schemes and trustees. Based in Birkirkara, Malta, the authority participates in international policy development and seeks alignment with global best practices through engagement with bodies such as the OECD, the EU, and the Commonwealth, and with European and international regulators including EBA, EIOPA, ESMA, IOSCO, and IAIS; it is also a signatory to the Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding with these institutions. In March 2026, the MFSA published a consultation document regarding the transposition and implementation of AIFMD II and UCITS VI, signaling ongoing regulatory updates for Malta’s market.
