Description
This study contains the first complete published history of events, institutions, and personalities that have shaped Malta’s financial services sector.
John Consiglio chronicles, describes and discusses most of the developments that have led to Maltese contemporary banking. he provides a very detailed and interesting insight into the Maltese banking world from its origins around the times of the Knights of Malta to the present, when the financial services industry has grown into one of the island’s most important economic sectors.
His lifelong professional involvement in banking, his love for its historical evolution, his high academic credentials, fullyused in the training of many bank employees and university students, and his enthusiasm for the profession generally, have enabled him to enrich this account with many personal experiences and observations.
This book is therefore invaluable not only for those wanting to learn more about the island’s banks, and how these evolved over time, but also to economic, social and political historians, and to students of Maltese history.
