Other Financial Institutions
"Other Financial Institutions" (OFIs) are institutions that offer money services. They do not hold deposits from the public like regular commercial banks. Instead, they focus on specific money tasks like loans, leasing, or managing investments. For the purposes of this section, financial institutions, except monetary financial institutions or credit institutions, include investment funds, insurance corporations, pensions funds, lending institutions, financial vehicle corporations, captive financial institutions including holding companies, e-money and payments institutions, and other financial auxiliaries.
The consolidated balance sheet of the Other Financial Institutions sector, based on statistical principles, provides statistics on the financial assets and liabilities (outstanding positions) of all financial institutions resident in Malta.
