Sarah Vella joined the Bank as an intern in 2020. Since then, she has obtained a BCom (Honours) in Economics from the University of Malta and a MSc in Economics from the University of Exeter. She is a Senior Research Economist within the Financial Stability Research Office, where she conducts research on financial stability issues related to the risk assessment and the macroprudential policy framework. During 2023, she was tasked with the construction of the cyclical systemic risk indicator, which is an indicator that is used by the Bank to track the build-up of cyclical risks in Malta. During 2024(?), Sarah has also conducted research on developing risk thresholds to signal the cyclical systemic risk level present in Malta and the impact of macroprudential policies on the household and credit markets. She is particularly intrigued by and like to continuously learn about econometric methods and advancements in the literature.
