In a communique released on 28 December 2021, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) informed concerned stakeholders that it is now officially recognised as the sole National Numbering Agency (“NNA") for Mauritius, further to having officially integrated the Association of National Numbering Agencies (“ANNA").

The FSC is now able to have proper oversight on the issue of International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs) in Mauritius and as part of its supervisory plan, the institution will be allowing local licensed and regulated clearing and settlement facilities to charge the fee for each ISIN issued on its behalf. More information on the issue of ISINs will be communicated by the FSC in a separate Circular Letter.

The current fees for ISIN issuance has been set at USD 600 per ISIN, and this may be subject to revision.
