History

[edit]
Emblem of the Malta Stock Exchange

The Exchange was established with the enactment of the Malta Stock Exchange Act in 1990, and commenced trading operations on 8 January 1992.[1] The Central Bank of Malta was originally appointed as the supervisor of the Exchange,[2] a role now assumed by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).

Ellis, and was used as a multi-denominational place of worship until 1950. The former church was then used for entertainment purposes, as a post office and as a naval school, before it was taken over and extensively renovated by the Exchange. It has been known since then as the Exchange Building or The Borsa.[3] The Exchange is located close to the Office of the Prime Minister at Auberge de Castille and the Upper Barrakka Gardens.[4][5]

In 2013, the Exchange achieved Designated Offshore Securities Market status by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission complementing the HM Revenue and Customs recognition that had been obtained from the UK authorities in 2005.
