The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is in the process of merging sectoral authorisations into their respective supervisory functions. Such reorganisation will ensure the optimization of the supervisory process throughout the lifecycle of authorised firms, which fall within the oversight of the MFSA, whose staff will be in constant and direct contact with applicants (or their advisers, where applicable) regarding the status of their application(s).

This follows a previous communication from the same authority, which announced organisational changes and senior leadership team appointments, including the overhaul of the Authorisation function.

The reorganisation has been announced by the MFSA with a circular, which can be accessed here >
