Under its license from the MFSA, the MSE manages Prospects MTF, an Exchange regulated market designed specifically for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs). “Prospects MTF allows SMEs to raise capital, even if they do not meet the criteria for listing on the regulated main market. Companies can issue up to €8 million in bonds or equities through Prospects MTF. Many companies have successfully used Prospects MTF as a steppingstone to list the regulated main market.” notes Mr Zammit.

Additionally, the MSE is also the recognized National Numbering Agency (NNA) for issuing the International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) and acts as an agent for the issuance of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).

The MSE regularly participates in global conferences and events to promote itself and Malta as a financial hub. It works closely with entities like FinanceMalta to showcase Malta’s robust and innovative financial services sector on a global stage. It is also a member of the World Federation of Exchanges, the Federation of European Stock Exchanges, and The Association of National Numbering Agencies. These networks help in fostering international relationships.

With a focus on innovation and global reach, the MSE is well-positioned to attract and support a diverse range of investors and companies.
