| DFSA Strengthens Ties With Indian Securities Regulator |
by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
Monday, November 02, 2009
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), it has emerged.
The MoU was signed on behalf of the DFSA by Chief Executive, Paul Koster,
and CB Bhave, Chairman of SEBI, on the eve of a Dubai International Financial
Centre (DIFC) seminar entitled: ‘The India-UAE Partnership: Investments,
Opportunities and Synergies’ held on October 29.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India was established in 1992 to regulate
the securities markets in India, to protect the interest of the investors and
to promote the development of, and to regulate the securities market.
Paul Koster, Chief Executive of the DFSA announced that: “As the supervisor of
one of the largest capital markets in the world, SEBI is an active member of
the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and acknowledged
as one that is committed to world best practice. SEBI is, like the DFSA, a signatory
to IOSCO’s multilateral MoU and, as such, has already shown its ability
and willingness to co-operate and share information to international standards."
This bilateral MoU is a significant initiative, recognising the importance of
these arrangements for co-operation and information sharing between the two
regulators.”
He continued: “There are already a number of branches of Indian firms operating in
the DIFC so this agreement, which reflects the responsibilities of both agencies,
will enhance information sharing and co-operation between the DFSA and SEBI
as regulators of these firms. As more financial services firms join the DIFC
from India, this bilateral relationship will assume increasing importance as
both regulators rely on the quality of regulatory standards administered in
the other’s jurisdiction.”
“In the past year, the importance of effective co-ordination and co-operation
between regulators cannot be overstated. We are looking for better ways of working
together to resolve current problems and prevent their repetition. Agreements
such as this will make a difference”, Koster concluded.
Bhave added: “This arrangement establishes a framework for mutual assistance,
strengthening of cross-border co-operation and contributes towards efficient
performance of the supervisory functions and effective enforcement of the laws
and regulations governing the markets in our respective jurisdictions.”
