Malta’s proposition for the UK’s financial services industry will be presented to industry professionals on Thursday, February 21 at London’s Guildhall.

The London-based event is aimed at highlighting the advantages and high level of services that the Maltese jurisdiction has to offer to UK companies seeking to relocate to other jurisdictions. The event will kick off with a couple of keynote speeches, followed by four focused panel discussions on asset management, insurance, private wealth, and blockchain.

Each discussion will be held concurrently in separate rooms featuring a different panel for each topic.

Speaking about FinanceMalta’s participation in this event, chairman Kenneth Farrugia said that: “The aim of our participation in this high-profile event is twofold. On one hand to network with leading UK and international stakeholders and on the other hand to promote Malta as a financial services centre of international repute.”
