AFM TRENDS DAY
In Taipei for the AFM Conference, we’re excited to announce the official launch of AFM Malta Trends Day — watch the launch here.
As AFM members, we agreed last year to expand the recent Tech Days into a broader format. Thus AFM Trends Day launches this November in the magnificent historic city of Valletta, Malta.
A key theme is simple: how do emerging markets, emerge?
Malta is the proof point. In 1970, Malta’s GDP per capita was around $828. Today, World Bank data puts it at $43,899 — higher than South Korea and a whisker behind France ($46,103). That is not merely growth. A small jurisdiction has become a high-income European economy and a serious international platform where in the post war era it was a net exporter of human capital to Australia, the UK and elsewhere.

That is why AFM Trends Day will focus on the trends that matter: market structure, clearing resilience, technology, digital assets, sustainability-linked products and the practical choices that build credible markets.
See you in Valletta November 12–13… registration now open.
