DFSA Enters Into MoU With South African Counterpart,
by Mary Swire, for LawAndTax-News.com, Hong Kong
Thursday, May 29, 2008
It was announced on Wednesday that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Financial Services Board of South Africa (FSB).
The signing took place between David Knott, Chief Executive of the DFSA,
and Rob Barrow, the Executive Officer of the FSB, during the Annual Conference
of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) being held
in Paris.
The FSB supervises the activities of non-bank financial institutions and other
financial services in South Africa, including licensed exchanges, clearing
houses, collective investment schemes and all types of insurance and retirement
fund activities.
Speaking with regard to the MoU, David Knott commented that:
“The Financial Services Board of South Africa is a valued member of
IOSCO and a leading participant in the African and Middle East Region, of which
the DFSA is also a member."
"Both the FSB and the DFSA are signatories to the
IOSCO Multilateral MoU, having satisfied the highest standards of co-operation
and assistance among IOSCO members. It is enhanced by today’s bi-lateral
agreement which reflects each agency’s responsibilities in the regulation
of securities and insurance.”
As more South African financial services firms join the Dubai International
Financial Centre (DIFC), this relationship will assume increasing importance,
as regulators rely on the quality of regulatory standards administered in the
other’s jurisdiction.
