Description

The smallest country in the EU and the tenth smallest in the world, Malta is home to a rich array of tourist attractions, an international financial centre and a well-developed gaming industry. Since June 2021, Malta has been grey listed by the FATF on account of its strategic AML deficiencies which, alongside its high financial secrecy and tax haven rankings by the Tax Justice Network, require careful navigation when dealing in or with the region. Human, weapons and drugs trafficking, alongside fraud, bribery and corruption, cybercrime and environmental crime, also represent a palpable risk to which companies operating in or with Malta can be exposed.
