This article highlights the importance of the MFSA’s specialised conduct supervision function in enhancing consumer protection and supervisory focus. The discussion includes the authorisation process for licensing financial entities in Malta, the MFSA’s supervisory approach, and the tools used to enforce consumer protection regulations, concluding with reflections on the overall strategy.
