International Monetary Fund (IMF) Malta Preliminary Report was published recently. The Report said that Malta weathered the global recession relatively well but cautioned that vulnerabilities are rising in Malta’s financial sector saying that high credit risk and growing exposure to securities in parts of the Maltese banking sector call for heightened vigilance and determined supervisory action.

The IMF Preliminary Report was dealt with by Professor Edward Scicluna MEP in his 10-minute weekly TV programme L-MEP U INT on Smash TV on Friday, November 26. L-MEP U INT is aired every Friday on Smash TV at 7.20 p.m. with a repetition the following Sunday at 5.40 p.m.
