Malta Stock Exchange in discussions with Thomson Reuters

“I am very happy to learn that the Malta Stock Exchange is currently in discussions with multinational Thomson Reuters over collaboration in various fields, especially training programmes for the MENA region”, said Finance Minister Edward Scicluna at the official opening of the Malta Stock Exchange Institute in Mosta.

MSE Chairman Joseph Portelli added that a memorandum of understanding between the two parties will be signed soon.

Minister Scicluna welcomed the news that multinationals such as Thomson Reuters viewed Malta as a reputable country from where to operate and strike strategic partnerships in various fields, such as education and the development and promotion of Corporate Governance Software for Northern Africa and the Gulf regions.

Head of Thomson Reuters’ New Business Development for the Middle East and North Africa Eric Hammar said that Thomson Reuters has years of experience in the sector and operates from several countries. He said that the company is very proud to be collaborating with MSE.

He added that Malta offers many opportunities thanks to its vibrant gaming and financial sectors.
