The Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (FSC) is the integrated regulator for the financial services sector. The FSC was established in 2001 and operates within a modern and internationally recognised legal framework which includes the Financial Services Act, the Securities Act and the Insurance Act. The FSC licenses, regulates, monitors and supervises the conduct of business activities in the non-banking financial services sector.
In carrying out its mission, the FSC aims to:
- Promote the development, fairness, efficiency and transparency of financial institutions and capital markets in Mauritius;
- Suppress crime and malpractices so as to provide protection to members of the public investing in non-banking financial products; and
- Ensure the soundness and stability of the financial system in Mauritius.
As a risk based regulator, throughout its work, the FSC prioritises its resources in the areas which pose the biggest threat to its regulatory objectives. Enforcement is one of a number of regulatory tools available to the FSC as part of its preventive approach. The FSC’s approach to the use of its enforcement powers plays an important role in the pursuit of its regulatory objectives.
