(Dubai) – The Dubai Financial Services Authority, DFSA, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Capital Markets Authority of Kuwait, CMA. The MoU was signed at the DFSA offices by Ian Johnston, Chief Executive of the DFSA, and Dr. Nayef Falah Al-Hajraf, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the CMA, Kuwait.
Johnston said, “I am honoured to welcome Dr. Nayef to Dubai and to the DFSA, for this important initiative. Along with its commitments to the international standard-setters and its relationship with key home regulators in Europe, India and China, the DFSA maintains its focus on the region, particularly its links with counterparts in the Gulf Cooperation Council. As relatively young regulators, the DFSA was established in 2004 and the CMA in 2010, the DFSA and CMA see value in developing our capacity as capital markets regulators. Both authorities have agreed on a secondment programme that will allow regulatory members of staff to learn from each other and, in turn, to share this knowledge and experience with their colleagues.”
The Chairman of the DFSA, Saeb Eigner, said, “I am very pleased to see that, as part of its focus on the region, the DFSA is deepening its engagement with regulators in the GCC. In this spirit, the DFSA looks forward to working closely with the CMA, enhancing information sharing and cooperation and providing the foundation for facilitating the entry of financial institutions in the DIFC from Kuwait.”
The MoU signing was attended by the International Relations Director, Mark McGinness, and Corporate Affairs Director, Waleed Saeed Al Awadhi, in the DFSA, and was also attended by the Board of Commissioners Office Director, Moayed Al-Shakhs, and the International Relations Office Director in the CMA.
