We would like to bring to your attention the following publication by the Malta Financial Services Authority. The regulator in Malta has transparently outlined its supervisory priorities both cross sectoral as well as sector specific.
Supervision will be outcomes-based, data-led and board-focused. Regulators will expect clear evidence that policies are working in practice. We recommend reading the full publication here.
The seven key priority areas outlined in 2025, maintaining their relevance in 2026 are:
- Resilience of its Supervised Entities
- Sustainable Finance
- Digital Finance
- Governance Risk & Compliance
- Financial Crime Compliance
- Consumer Protection & Education
- Cross-Border Supervision
The document also sets a specific spotlight on Artificial Intelligence and Cross-Border Supervision.
The publication zones into clear sector specific priorities, actions undertaken in 2025 and how these shall be focused upon in the year to come.
