27TH AFFILIATION OF MICROEUROPEAN STATES (AMES) MEETING
Valletta, Malta, 4 November 2026
The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and Depositor and Investor Compensation Schemes Malta (DCS), hosted in Valletta the 27th Affiliation of Micro European States (AMES) meeting.
The meeting brought together representatives from the AMES community to exchange experiences, discuss current challenges, and share recent developments in their respective jurisdictions.
EFDI extends its sincere gratitude to the MFSA, DCS and the entire organising team for their outstanding hospitality, excellent arrangements, and warm welcome throughout the event. The professionalism, attention to detail, and generous hosting provided an ideal setting for productive discussions and networking among participants.
The accompanying social programme offered participants an excellent opportunity to discover more about Malta and its history, while fostering further networking and collaboration among AMES members.
The meeting agenda covered a broad range of topics of importance to deposit guarantee schemes and resolution authorities. Participants received updates from EFDI Working Groups and IADI activities, discussed the ongoing review of EFDI's statutes, exchanged views on latest papers, and examined Malta's Data Exchange and Payment Solution as well as the Maltese resolution framework.
Members also shared recent developments in their jurisdictions, discussed Single Customer View (SCV) quality and inspections, and explored risk management challenges and frameworks, particularly from the perspective of smaller jurisdictions.
A particular highlight of the meeting was the opportunity to exchange views and strengthen cooperation among the members of the AMES network. The discussions once again demonstrated the importance of close collaboration between small jurisdictions in addressing common operational, regulatory, and strategic challenges
EFDI would also like to thank all speakers and presenters for their valuable contributions, as well as all AMES members who contributed to the discussions.
EFDI looks forward to continuing its close cooperation with AMES and its members and thanks the MFSA and DCS once again for hosting such a successful and memorable event.
