The upcoming 15th annual conference of FinanceMalta will feature a host of high-calibre international speakers as well as local experts, in what promises to be one of the major financial services events this year.
International speakers include, among others, the outgoing president of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Marcus Pleyer; the executive director of the European Banking Authority (EBA) François-Louis Michaud; futurist and professor of practice, Imperial College Business School, David Shrier; as well as the director for Financial and Enterprise Affairs at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Carmine Di Noia.
The theme of this year’s conference, which will be held on December 1 at the Intercontinental Arena Conference Centre, is ‘Learning from the Past: Looking to the Future’. The conference will feature C-level executives from Malta and abroad, EU policymakers, Maltese government representatives, officials of global standard-setting organisations, renowned academics, regulators, researchers and more.
Pleyer is a familiar face given the role he occupied until very recently as president of the FATF during a time when Malta was placed on the grey list and eventually removed a year later following the remediation work carried out by the jurisdiction. Pleyer served as the first two-year president of the FATF from July 1, 2020, till June 30, 2022, after having been FATF vice-president (July 2019–June 2020) and head of the German delegation to the FATF (2016–July 2019). In his national role, he serves as deputy director general in Germany’s federal ministry of finance responsible for policy development and international engagement pertaining anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism and proliferation financing (AML/CFT, CPF), financial sanctions, digital finance including payment services and cyber security. During the FinanceMalta annual conference, Pleyer will be participating in a panel session on the theme ‘Good governance: how does it build trust?’
