The Global Financial Centres Index 3 produced by the Z/Yen Group for the City of London, which ranks financial centres worldwide on the basis of external benchmarking data and current perceptions of competitiveness, has identified Malta among the top five:

- financial centres worldwide likely to increase in importance over the next two to three years;
- likely choices for respondents seeking to set up a new operation in the coming five years.

Furthermore, Malta is considered to be one worth watching as it consolidates its position in the EU after adopting the Euro at the beginning of 2008.
