Central Bank of Malta marks Pink October with Awareness and Fundraising Initiatives

The Central Bank of Malta marked Pink October on Wednesday, 14th October, with a series of initiatives across all three of its premises aimed at raising awareness and supporting those affected by breast cancer. In a show of solidarity, the Bank's premises are also being lit in pink throughout the entire month of October.

Organised by the Central Bank's Cultural Activities Committee, staff were encouraged to wear pink attire in solidarity with breast cancer patients and survivors. Upon arrival, staff members across all locations were welcomed with specially decorated pink muffins, serving as a sweet reminder of the month's vital message.
