Published on Tuesday, 10th June 2025 • News

In his address to over 150 graduates and guests at the Annual Graduation Ceremony, President of ifs Malta, Peter Calleya, stated that as the dynamic financial services sector continues to evolve and demand skilled and forward-looking professionals, it is important to remain at the forefront of financial education.

In response to these changes, the Institute has introduced new qualifications in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and Digital Assets, with additional programmes in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Fintech currently under consideration. The Institute is also a core partner in the MiCreS Project, an innovative EU Erasmus+ Forward Looking Programme with 12 other partners from 10 countries across Europe and beyond. The project aims to create the first European micro credential in sustainable finance.
Mr Calleya thanked the Institute’s Vice President Mark Agius and Committee members Wendy Zammit and Joseph Agius for their ongoing contributions to this project and expressed his gratitude to William Portelli, President of Malta Union of Bank Employees (MUBE), one of the project partners, who was also present for the event.
