Banco de Investimento debates investment opportunities
Lisbon, 17 January 2011. Next Thursday, 20 January, Banif Investment Bank will be organising an important debate on the main business and investment opportunities in Malta, a country that not only belongs to the European Union but also, because of its location, represents a vital entrepôt with important business regions, such as north Africa.
This forum, Infrastructure Opportunities in Malta, will take place at the Hilton in St. Julians, and will offer all participants an excellent chance for an open discussion on the main challenges and opportunities in the current market conditions for the main entrepreneurs operating in construction, public works, engineering and large projects.
The meeting will also constitute a unique opportunity for investors seeking assets with better future return prospects for their portfolios, as they will be able to learn more about the growth prospects of the Maltese market, which boasts political stability and a modern legal and financial framework, among other factors that make Malta a very attractive investment.
The forum will discuss issues such as Malta’s macroeconomic situation, its plans and priorities with regard to infrastructure, its role as an EU bridge to other markets and the regulatory frameworks for concessions and public-private partnerships, as well as many other topics of interest.
The main speakers will include Dr. Jason Azzopardi, Parliamentary Secretary for Small Business and Land, Alfred DeMarco, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Malta, Joaquim Silva Pinto, CEO of Banif Bank (Malta), Vasco Pinto Ferreira, Director of Banif Banco de Investimento, Alan Camilleri from Malta Enterprise and Helga Ellul from the Maltese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, among many others.
