Article 7
|
An offshore securities branch shall be included in its head office's calculations of net worth, financial ratios, and regulatory capital adequacy ratio, and the ratios required by the FSC shall be maintained.
When the net worth, financial ratios, and regulatory capital adequacy ratio of the securities firm are below the FSC's required ratios for a period of 3 consecutive months, the FSC may order it to improve within a prescribed deadline, and if it fails to effect improvement by the deadline, the FSC may suspend all or part of its offshore securities branch's business. The suspended business may be resumed only after the securities firm has maintained the required ratios for 3 consecutive months and has reported to the FSC for approval. If the securities firm has failed to effect improvement within the deadline, the FSC may void the business license of the offshore securities branch and notify the CBC.
