The Malta Financial Services Authority hosted the two-day conference “Beyond Compliance: The Future of Banking Supervision and Resolution”, bringing together senior representatives from the European Central Bank, the Single Resolution Board and the European Banking Authority alongside Maltese banking institutions to discuss the future direction of supervision and resolution. Discussions centred on strengthening resilience, managing emerging risks and moving beyond a compliance-focused approach. Sessions on the MFSA’s supervisory priorities covered climate and environmental risk management, data quality and the authorisation process for new banks, with MFSA speakers noting progress on climate-risk preparedness but calling for improved risk quantification and integration into capital planning. The conference also addressed forthcoming Bank Liquidation Legislation intended to streamline crisis management, and marked ten years of the Single Resolution Mechanism with debate on closer national-EU coordination on resolution and proportionality and on simplifying supervisory and resolution frameworks while safeguarding financial stability, including current Single Supervisory Mechanism reforms aimed at streamlining supervision and enhancing efficiency.
