In a panel discussion, the bank’s chief economist, Aaron Grech, addressed Maltese savings and investment behaviour and discussed the digital euro. His remarks covered the European Central Bank’s efforts to ensure citizens’ access to public money in an increasingly digital economy and strengthen Europe’s autonomy in payments. The bank also hosted a stand explaining its role and financial literacy initiatives.
