Known trends affecting the As at the date of these Final Terms, there are no known trends,
Issuer and industries in which uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are
the Issuer operates
reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Issuer's business
for at least up to the end of the current financial year save as may
arise from changes in the laws and regulations applicable to the
Issuer and changes in the economy and the financial markets in
general.
Global and Local Economic Outlook
From a global perspective, markets have been characterised by
political tension and record low interest rates. Although the Issuer
is not directly exposed to conflict regions, volatility in the financial
markets could impact its proprietary investment portfolio. Interest
rates are expected to remain low and this could impact the
Issuer's net interest margin. Despite subdued global economic
growth, the Maltese economy is registering higher growth rates
when compared to its Eurozone peers and this is considered
positive for the Issuer which is dependent on the local economy.
Regulatory Reforms
Regulatory reforms in response to weaknesses in the global
financial sector have had, and are expected to continue to have,
a substantial impact on financial institutions, including the Issuer.
The reforms that have been or may be adopted include, amongst
others, more stringent capital and liquidity requirements, recovery
and resolution measures (including the creation of a resolution
fund) and the creation of new and strengthened regulatory bodies.
Financial Performance of the Issuer
Despite operating in a challenging environment, the Issuer
continued to perform well in all areas of its operations. Balance
sheet growth was sustained and the Issuer continued to register
positive increases in all areas of commission and fee income
generating business.
Strategic Priorities of the Issuer
The Issuer's strategic priority is to safeguard the stability and
sustainability of the Bank as Malta's largest financial institution,
for the long-term. The Issuer has, during FY 2015, embarked on
a reform of its governance structures to assist it in achieving this
end. Other major reforms include the restructuring of the credit
function and IT developments. Human resources, processes and
data management are also strategic objectives of the Issuer.
