Peter Calleya has been reconfirmed as President of the Institute of Financial Services (ifs) Malta for the 2024-2025 term.

This comes after the institute recently held its Annual General Meeting, during which the new committee for the year was elected.

This will be Mr Calleya’s second term as ifs Malta President, after succeeding Kenneth B. Micallef in 2023. He was first elected to the committee in 2003 and has served in a range of positions, including Vice President for over 10 years.

Away from ifs Malta, Mr Calleya has been a financial services practitioner for over 35 years with HSBC Bank Malta, presently serving as Head of Client Tax Reporting and Analytics.

The ifs Malta committee is now composed of Mr Calleya as President, Mark Agius and Bonamy Mercieca as Vice Presidents, Karl Dingli as Honorary Secretary, Clayton Scicluna as Honorary Treasurer, as well as members Joseph Agius, Jean Paul Attard, Joseph Bugelli, Elaine Calleja, Alex Cutajar, Adrian Mallia, Sara Strijbosch Ali, and Wendy Zammit.

The institute expressed gratitude to outgoing member Paul Farrugia for his 28 years of service to ifs Malta, after he did not seek re-election.

Commenting on the election, Mr Calleya thanked everyone for re-electing him to serve as President for another year.

“Together with all the committee members and the institute’s staff, I look forward with confidence to having another successful year,” he said.

“ifs Malta is committed to remain at the forefront of providing financial services education,” Mr Calleya continued.
