The DFSA’s regulatory approach is to be risk-based and to avoid unnecessary regulatory burden.

Applying for Recognised Body Status

An exchange, clearing house or settlement facility outside the DIFC seeking status as a Recognised Body, must:

• Be licensed or otherwise authorised to operate an exchange, clearing house or settlement facility in a jurisdiction acceptable to
  the DFSA; and
• Operate to a standard which would satisfy the Licensing Requirements for AMIs.

If you have any queries regarding the application process, please contact our Markets division.
