The Financial Services Authority clarifies that the Licenses Act does not apply to International Trade Zone licensees, meaning they do not require a separate licence from the Seychelles Licensing Authority to operate.

Companies currently holding both licences must coordinate with the licensing authority to regularize their operational status under the ITZ Act.
