THE Malta Stock Exchange
Index is possibly the worst
performer in Europe and one
that is currently worse than
where it was at the height
of the market meltdown
in March 2020, the boss of
Malta's largest life insurance
company, has complained.
David Curmi, CEO of Map-
fre MSV Life p.l.c., told Busi-
nessToday that on 31 March
the MSCI World had fell to
-20.10%, the MSCI Europe
(excluding the UK) -21.06%,
the MSCI Emerging Markets
-19.05% and the Malta Stock
Exchange -19.29%.
But in June major indices
made a remarkable recovery.
Maltese investors are 'suffering silently'
as MSEI loses 30% since March 2020,
Mapfre MSV Life CEO says
Malta Stock Exchange Index
'worst performer in Europe'
