In its communiqué signed 8 December 2025, Banque Centrale des Comores states that MISA, Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority and related named structures are not recognised in the Union and lack legal authority to issue financial or banking licences. A group-published permission from those issuers therefore does not establish nationally recognised authorisation. This is the central bank’s position on the issuing structures, not a finding of misconduct against every named broker.[52]
