非洲提出了新规则,允许本地资产管理公司监督来自该国的外国投资,同时不受自身离岸投资限制的约束,以此加强其作为非洲金融中心的地位。
Africa proposed rules that would allow local asset managers to oversee foreign investments from the country without being subject to their own offshore limits, advancing a plan to strengthen its position as a financial hub for the continent.
根据央行周三发布的框架草案,获批准的机构将能够在南非管理符合条件的外国投资组合并进行相关的外币交易。
Approved institutions would be able to manage qualifying foreign portfolios and conduct related foreign-currency activity from South Africa under the first phase of the so-called Synthetic Financial Centre, the central bank said in a draft framework published on Wednesday.
该提案目前开放公众评论,截止日期为11月30日,符合条件的私募股权基金经理也将被允许参与。
The proposal, which is open for public comment until Nov. 30, would also allow qualifying private equity fund managers to take part.
据2024年成立的公私合作项目‘Operation Phumelela’估计,目前约有10万亿兰特(6100亿美元)的南非储蓄资金被管理在海外。
An estimated 10 trillion rand ($610 billion) of South African savings is currently managed offshore, according to Operation Phumelela, a public-private initiative established in 2024 to find ways to boost financial-sector competitiveness through reforms.
该项目由财政部官员和金融行业领袖共同推动,旨在通过改革提升金融部门的竞争力。
It includes National Treasury officials and leaders in the finance industry.
根据提议的框架,即使基础资产仍位于海外,更多的管理活动也可以在南非进行。投资者仍需遵守适用的审慎监管规定。
The proposed framework may allow more of the management to take place in South Africa, even when the underlying assets remain offshore. Investors would remain subject to their applicable prudential foreign-investment limits.
‘Operation Phumelela’在2月份财政部首次宣布该计划时表示:‘这些改革是提高竞争力的合理举措,有助于与毛里求斯、迪拜和卢旺达等国家的水平相匹配,尽管我们预计这一过程需要更长时间。’
“Such reforms are a logical end point to improving competitiveness and match the capabilities of Mauritius, Dubai and latterly Rwanda, though we anticipate these will take longer to consolidate,” Operation Phumelela — which means succeed in isiZulu — said in February, when the National Treasury first announced the plan in its budget.
JSE有限公司时任首席执行官兼‘Operation Phumelela’主席Leila Fourie当时表示:‘这些改革对南非金融部门来说是重大进步,使我们能够将目前海外管理的数千亿兰特储蓄资金带回国内。’
“These reforms are a major step forward for the South African financial sector,” Leila Fourie, then chief executive officer of JSE Ltd. and chair of Operation Phumelela, said at the time. “They enable us to bring trillions of rands in South African savings – currently managed offshore – back home.”
