As of June 2025, 73% of 27 strategic priorities had been completed, with further progress recorded by year-end. Key milestones include implementation of the MiCAR and DORA frameworks, new rulebooks for credit institutions and company service providers, advances in supervisory digitalisation, progress on sustainable finance initiatives, development of domestic frameworks to expand Malta’s regulatory toolbox, and enhanced collaboration with European and global authorities. The update links these measures to reducing administrative burdens, aligning Malta’s regulatory framework with European Union requirements, and reinforcing governance and compliance standards across the sector. The extended strategy continues to be organised around five pillars: agile regulation, resilience, good governance, innovation and engagement.
