The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius issued these Rules to establish a comprehensive authorization framework for foreign investment dealers seeking to trade on licensed Mauritian securities exchanges. The framework requires exchange-submitted applications to demonstrate consistent home-jurisdiction regulation, IOSCO MMOU adherence, and proper documentation while mandating the exchange to conduct due diligence and monitor ongoing compliance. Authorized dealers must designate a local officer to serve as the primary regulatory contact and ensure all trades are settled through clearing members, with authorization remaining valid only while home-jurisdiction permissions persist.
