| Labuan And Mauritius Sign Regulatory MoU |
by Mary Swire, LawAndTax-News.com, Hong Kong
Friday, April 30, 2010
It has been announced that the Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan
FSA) and the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (Mauritius FSC) have signed
a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that will provide the basis for the two
authorities to work together, particularly in the fields of regulation, investigation
and enforcement.
The MoU establishes a formal framework for mutual assistance and the exchange
of information between each regulator to facilitate the enforcement of, and
compliance with, the laws of each jurisdiction. Such collaboration should help
to protect investors and depositors and to promote the integrity of financial
services markets in the two jurisdictions.
Under the MoU, both regulators are committed to providing help within the legal
limits of each jurisdiction, and it establishes procedures to handle requests
for information needed for tackling financial regulatory offences.
The Labuan FSA has entered into the MoU, it was said, as one of a number of such
collaborative bilateral agreements that it wants to complete with other overseas
regulatory institutions and agencies. It wishes thereby to demonstrate its commitment
to international cooperation, and to establish the reputation and standing of
the Labuan International Business and Financial Centre.
The MoU was signed by the Labuan FSA’s director-general, Datuk Azizan Abdul
Rahman Azizan, and the chief executive officer of the Mauritius FSC, Milan Metarbhan,
on behalf of their respective authorities. the Mauritius FSC has now signed 17 MoUs
with other regulators, including India, South Africa, Malta, Jersey, Guernsey
and the Isle of Man.
