MFSA appoints director general

The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has appointed Marianne Scicluna as director general.

Scicluna has served in the role of designate director general since November 2013 and takes over from Dr Andre Camilleri, who retired in August.

She has worked at the MFSA since 1995, holding several positions within the securities unit as well as deputy director in the pensions unit and as a member of the Pensions Working Group formed by the government.

In 2010, Scicluna was given responsibility for establishing a new authorisation unit, and played an active role in working groups focusing on the financial sector after accession to the EU.
