In a move that further reinforces its position as a truly global online Forex and CFDs broker, FP Markets has 

announced that it has been granted a non-dealing Foreign Exchange Broker License by the Capital Markets 

Authority (CMA) of Kenya for its locally formed subsidiary FP Markets Limited.

The Kenya regulation adds to FP Markets’ regulatory footprint in Africa having received a regulatory licence 

from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa on 10 May 2022 as it continues to strengthen 

its global regulatory presence across multiple continents.

Craig Allison, FP Markets CEO commented on the news adding ‘We are thrilled to have been granted the licence 

by the CMA. Kenya has emerged as an important new strategic location for us and is a country that boasts a young 

and dynamic trading and investing community. It stands out as a well-regulated financial services centre and a hub 

for large parts of Africa and the economy here is advanced, characterized by a strong entrepreneurial spirit and 

consistent growth. We’re looking forward to operating in Kenya and working together with the local regulatory bodies 

and government to ensure the industry continues to develop in a sustainable manner.”

The addition of the CMA license extends the group’s regulatory presence which now includes regulated companies 

authorised by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) 

of South Africa, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission 

(CySEC) and the Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB).
