Consultation Outcome: Final Report


Original Consultation

1.        Background

The Malta Financial Services Authority (the “MFSA” or the “Authority”), by virtue of the powers conferred to it under the Malta Financial Services Authority Act (Chapter 330 of the Laws of Malta), inter alia carries out investigations of alleged breaches of financial services laws, regulations and MFSA Rules on licence holders and on persons authorised by it or falling under its regulatory or supervisory functions. The Authority aims at resolving investigations in the shortest time possible to ensure efficiency and productivity. One method of achieving the foregoing is by entering into a settlement with investigated persons or entities.

The MFSA is seeking to add a new legislative provision in the Malta Financial Services Authority Act, as set out in this consultation document, to enter into settlement discussions and agreements with persons under investigation.
