Capital Markets Industry Comments on FIMA General Standard 10.10 -2024

The Namibia Financial Institutions Supervision Authority issued a draft outsourcing standard requiring financial institutions and intermediaries to govern the outsourcing of principal and material business functions. Industry stakeholders recommend adopting a risk-based approach that permits the outsourcing of principal functions, clarifies materiality and in-sourcing definitions, and grants a twelve-month transitional period for existing agreements. The framework mandates board oversight of outsourced risks, robust data protection measures, and flexible record-keeping to foster local capacity building while ensuring regulatory compliance.
