Financial Services (Other Financial Business Activity) Rules 2008

The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius issued these rules under section 93 of the Financial Services Act 2007 to formally classify specific operations as other financial business activities. The regulations explicitly designate actuarial services, credit rating agencies, payment intermediary services conducted exclusively outside Mauritius, and foreign representative offices as qualifying activities under the Act's Second Schedule. Coming into effect upon publication in the Government Gazette, these rules were subsequently amended by Act No. 17 of 2018 to update their operational scope.
