| DFSA Signs MoU With Canadian Regulator |
by Mike Godfrey, Tax-News.com, Washington
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has announced the signing of a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
of Canada (OFSI), concluded last week.
The MoU was signed, first, on behalf of the DFSA by Chief Executive, Paul
Koster, and subsequently in Ottawa by Mark White, the Assistant Superintendent
of OSFI’s Regulation Sector.
OSFI is responsible for regulating and supervising
all federally chartered, licensed or registered banks, insurance, trust and
loan companies, co-operative credit associations and fraternal benefit societies
in Canada.
Koster said: “The attraction of
the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) for Canadian financial institutions
in the Middle East will be further enhanced by this regulatory relationship.
This initiative reflects each agency’s commitment to co-operation in relation
to prudential oversight and inspections. It adopts the model for information
sharing developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and follows
similar arrangements the DFSA has concluded with other significant banking supervisors
in the UK, Germany, France, the US, Japan, Singapore and China.”
“The global financial crisis has reinforced the importance of effective
dialogue and collaboration between banking supervisors. Agreements of this kind
will help that process.”
“Since 2005, the DFSA has placed a high priority on building its information
network. As a result of this signing, we now have a bilateral MoU network with
fifty regulators regionally and across the globe.”
