Appointment of new Chairperson, Member on the Advisory Board of the CBM Fund

Theatre and film industry veteran, Dr Sir Narcy Calamatta KM, has been appointed as Chairperson of the Advisory Board of the Central Bank of Malta Fund. His appointment follows the passing of Fr Marius Zerafa, Founding Chairperson of the Fund (previously Foundation), in October 2022.

Dr Sir Calamatta has been serving as member on the Board since its inception in 2018. He will lead the Fund's Advisory Board in its mandate to identify projects of a national stature with lasting visibility worthy of support by the Central Bank. The areas pursued by the Fund relate to education, culture, scientific research, preservation of Maltese national heritage, and social causes.

Another significant appointment on the Board was of museum founder and author Marquis Nicholas de Piro. Marquis de Piro brings invaluable experience to the Board in Maltese heritage, art and culture.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Malta, Prof. Edward Scicluna, together with the Deputy Governors, Mr Alexander Demarco and Mr Oliver Bonello, congratulated the new appointees during a courtesy meeting with the Advisory Board on 17 January 2023.
