Firms Given Permission To Operate Under TPR Until Their Applications Are Reviewed
December 15, 2021
CySEC has issued a Policy Statement (available here) relating to its decision to further amend Directive 87-04, in an effort to ensure the smooth transition of UK groups operating under the Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR), until they establish a physical presence in Cyprus.
It should be noted that in December 2020, CySEC introduced a Temporary Permission Regime so that UK firms can continue to provide investment services without a physical presence in Cyprus, under the condition that they only offer their services to eligible counterparties and/or professional clients based in Cyprus.
