The increases in the regulatory scrutiny that financial services are facing in Malta in relation to anti-money laundering (AML) and the combating of the financing of terrorism (CFT), have raised several challenges to be faced, especially since when the Maltese islands witnessed a rapid advancement in foreign businesses investing in Malta.
