Finance Minister Edward Scicluna, on Thursday discussed opportunities for new investment and growth in Malta with Ms Alison Hill, Chief Executive Officer of Argus, an international group offering a range of insurance and financial services products in a number of markets, including Malta. The meeting took place during a visit to Argus' local Head Office in Ta' Xbiex.

Ms Hill was accompanied by Argus Insurance Agencies Ltd's Chief Executive, Dr Vanessa Borg, and other senior executives at Argus Group. The Minister also had the opportunity to tour the head office and meet with the company's 30 employees.

Minister Scicluna commended the insurance industry for its contribution to the national economy, not only by creating employment opportunities but also by exporting its services.

Ms Hill said that as the range of products offered by Argus continues to expand, the Group is encouraged to further invest in Malta, particularly in the private pensions sector. At the moment, the local Argus branch provides a wide range of insurance services.
