Central Bank of Malta Participates in the JA Malta Conference on Financial Wellbeing

The Central Bank of Malta participated in the Junior Achievement Malta Conference, "From Access to Trust: Together for Financial Wellbeing", as a sponsor and contributor to discussions promoting financial awareness and responsible financial decision-making.

During the conference, the Bank hosted a stand where visitors could learn more about its role and its financial literacy initiatives. Promotional giveaways linked to financial literacy were also distributed to engage participants and encourage greater awareness of financial and economic issues.

Dr Aaron Grech, the Bank's Chief Economist, participated in a panel discussion on financial wellbeing, highlighting key characteristics of Maltese savings and investment behaviour. He also shared insights into the digital euro and the European Central Bank's efforts to ensure that citizens have access to public money in an increasingly digital economy, while strengthening Europe's autonomy in payments.

Mr Silvio Galea, Head of International Relations and Communications Department at the Central Bank of Malta, presented one of the JA Malta awards, reflecting the Bank's support for the conference and its commitment to promoting financial education.

Through its participation, the Central Bank of Malta reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening financial and economic literacy and supporting initiatives that empower individuals, to make better informed financial decisions.
