Following upon the success of the first two editions of Under the Microscope which were issued in 2015 and 2016, we are pleased to release the third edition of this publication, which has now become a staple contribution by KPMG in Malta to the Banking and Financial Services community, both locally and internationally.

In this edition of Under the Microscope, one can find articles about a swiftly evolving banking industry that is contemporaneously seeking to meet the accumulating requirements being imposed by a rapidly changing regulatory environment.

Insights into banking in Malta remains somewhat limited. For this reason, we have looked towards enhancing and refining the type and nature of financia lmetrics employed in our banking analysis, with a view to providing deeper insights into current key trends, aswell as including an in-depth analysis of specific financial areas that are changing and shaping today’s banking industry.

We trust you will enjoy the latest edition of Under the Microscope.
