New DFSA policy creates single point of reference for license notification

Dubai: The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) announced that it will no longer issue public announcements regarding licenses granted to, or withdrawn from, Authorised Firms, Ancillary Service Providers and Registered Auditors, operating in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

DFSA's Chief Executive Paul Koster said: "The DFSA has amended this policy so as to bring the DFSA more closely in line with the usual means employed by international regulators to provide that sort of information."

Accordingly, the DFSA's Public Register on www.dfsa.ae will, from now on, be the single point of reference in this regard, Koster said.
