The agreement was signed on behalf of the DFSA by chief executive Ian Johnston and APRA chairman Wayne Byre in Sydney.
Johnston said much has been done to advance international standard-setters in the areas of insurance and banking supervision.
“This bilateral memorandum of understanding with APRA reflects the presence of a number of Australian firms offering financial services in the DIFC and reflects each Authority’s commitment to co-operation in relation to their regulation,” he said.
It follows similar arrangements with supervisors in the UK, Germany, Italy, France, the US, India, China, Japan, and Singapore.
