The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Financial Regulatory Commission of Mongolia (FRC) today entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (Note 1).
The MoU – signed by the Chairman of the SFC, Mr Carlson Tong, and the Chairman of the FRC, Mr Dashdondov Bayarsaikhan – establishes a framework for mutual assistance and facilitates the exchange of information between the two regulators.
"This MoU strengthens our abilities to protect our markets and enforce the law in relation to cross-border matters. Both Hong Kong and Mongolia will benefit from the closer regulatory relationship made possible by the MoU," Mr Tong said.
"This memorandum signifies the importance of close cooperation between the authorities and exchange of information to assist each other. I firmly believe that the SFC and the FRC relationship is taken to a new level with this MoU which promotes shared interests and cooperation for more effective financial regulation through knowledge sharing and benchmarking," Mr Bayarsaikhan said.
