FP Markets, a renowned online Forex and CFDs broker, has recently enhanced its regulatory footprint in Africa 

with a significant achievement.

The broker has been awarded a non-dealing Foreign Exchange Broker License by Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority

 (CMA), marking this as its second regulatory approval in the African continent.

This new milestone follows FP Markets’ acquisition of a similar license from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority

 (FSCA) of South Africa on May 10, 2022, showcasing its commitment to expanding its global regulatory presence.

“We’re looking forward to operating in Kenya and working together with the local regulatory bodies”

The CEO of FP Markets, Craig Allison, highlighted Kenya’s burgeoning status as a strategic location for FP Markets, 

the country’s dynamic trading and investing community, advanced economy, and robust financial services sector.

“We are thrilled to have been granted the license 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 center 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.”
