Consultation
In June 2016, we published a consultation paper on our approach to registration of foreign-owned banks. The consultation closed on 24 August 2016.
The consultation proposed a framework for assessing whether these banks may be permitted to ‘dual-register’, simultaneously operating a local branch alongside an existing subsidiary.
