I still can’t understand how the MFSA allows people with no formal tertiary education or professional training to go from selling “pastizzi” to selling investments and in this case complex financial investments (even worse).

What is MFSA waiting for to to regulate the industry? People’s life savings are at stake here, being left penniless in the advanced stages of one’s life is considered by some to be worse than death. It’s criminal.

We have someone charged with keeping and/or circulating pornography and computer misuse who now works in the Ministry for European Affairs. Why would any appointment made by this government surprise us.

This new MEPA board leaves a lot to be desired in experience, knowledge and presence.

In reply to P Sant.

Funnier is this sentence from the article itself. The last part of the sentence is how the elves view the financial services:

‘More seriously, most of the buyers of these products are investors in the lower socio-economic strata of society with practically inexistent financial knowledge and experience other than human instinct for financial gain and greed.’

Have they promised him something on his appeal with MFSA?

Can’t stop laughing. Just look at the title of this article “Labour Party to protects investors” … by appointing MFSP director on the MEPA Board and perhaps keeping him away from them.

Had a good laugh by reading the comments by these Laboristi below the article.

Is there a way one can ascertain whether the licence restriction is revoked by MFSA? I’ll bet my can of beer that the ban won’t last up to 6 October 2015.
