This regulation by the Kenya authority adds to FP Markets’ regulatory presence in Africa. On the 10th of May 2022, FP Markets received a regulatory licence from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa. These events have served to strengthen its global regulatory presence across multiple continents.
Craig Allison, FP Markets CEO, commented on the news, adding:
We are thrilled to have been granted the licence by the CMA. Kenya has emerged as an important new strategic location for us and is a country that boasts a young and dynamic trading and investing community. It stands out as a well-regulated financial services centre and a hub for large parts of Africa and the economy here is advanced, characterized by a strong entrepreneurial spirit and consistent growth. We’re looking forward to operating in Kenya and working together with the local regulatory bodies and government to ensure the industry continues to develop in a sustainable manner.
The granting of the CMA licence increases the regulatory presence of the group in several countries. There are now regulated companies authorized by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and the Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB).
