Description:

The Central Bank of Malta was established by the Central Bank of Malta Act on 17 April 1968. On 1 May 2004 the Bank joined the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and on 1 January 2008 it became part of the Eurosystem.

The main objective of the Eurosystem and the Central Bank of Malta is to maintain price stability. In order to meet this objective, the Central Bank of Malta participates in the preparation and decision-making process of the Eurosystem’s monetary policy.

The Central Bank of Malta is an independent institution which seeks to carry out its statutory responsibilities in the public interest. As a member of the Eurosystem, the Bank's primary objective is to maintain price stability, thereby contributing to sustainable economic development.

The Bank contributes to the stability of the financial system through ongoing macro surveillance of the infrastructure, financial institutions and markets and by monitoring and assessing the implications for financial stability of economic and financial developments, both domestically and in the euro area. As part of its early warning system, the Bank analyses data to identify sources of risk and tests the resilience of the financial sector to withstand eventual shocks. This approach is supported by the development of a sound framework for the management of crisis situations and of contingency procedures. Ultimately, in order to safeguard financial stability, the Bank acts as lender of last resort.

The Bank compiles economic and financial statistics in accordance with international standards. These are provided to the ESCB and other international and domestic users. Statistics are made available through the Bank's regular publications, its website, the publications of the ECB and other international organisations.
