The key drivers are therefore the competitive costs, approachable regulators, low taxes, quality professionals and quality of life.

Legal certainty for Malta Forex Business

In addition to the above, Malta also has a number of characteristics that are very significant for FOREX businesses. Legal clarity is one such issue; in various countries, FOREX suffer from a lack of legal and regulatory clarity. Malta FOREX businesses, on the other hand, are regulated under the Investment Services Act, 1994. This is the same legislation that implements MiFID (the EU Directive on investment services) into Maltese legislation. This can gives rise to various advantages, including high and clear regulatory standards, certain opportunities for passporting, as well the comfort of having certainty as to the applicable legal and regulatory regime.
