OVERVIEW

Licensing is a critical component in the regulatory framework and serves a key function in the supervision value chain. It provides an entry point for applicants before they are allowed to conduct business as a financial institution. It is therefore essential that licensing systems be efficient and robust.

It is important to note that the principle of proportionality applies, to ensure that there is no “one-size-fits-all” licensing approach. The approach and the requirements must be proportionate to the risks underlying the business activities of different entities.
