The workshop is being organized by the Islands and Small States Institute in collaboration with the Banking and Finance Department of the University of Malta. The aim of the workshop is to disseminate knowledge and provide training on banking and finance, covering a variety of themes with a focus on small states. The workshop is primarily intended for officials, at senior and middle management levels, operating in banking and financial institutions or in the public sector. Participants should normally be nominated by the national governments and sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation. A limited number of self-funded participants can also participate. Certificates of attendance will be awarded to those participants who complete the entire programme.
