Midsea Books launched Carlo Farrugia’s Dictionary for Financial Services at the premises of the Malta Financial Services Authority at Mriehel.

The dictionary, an important lexicographic tool for the Maltese speaking community, contains terms used by officers in banks, brokerages, insurance companies, stock exchange, and investment banks.

Mr Farrugia studied at the Maastricht School of Management and is a graduate in General Management. He worked at the Central Bank of Malta and later at the Malta Financial Service Authority. He is now Head of the Information Services in the same authority.

Compiling the dictionary, he said, was no small job. It cost him more than a year’s research. However, he is proud his work will be of benefit to many others and, as other speakers suggested, he promised to update the dictionary periodically in order to keep up with the changing times.
