1. The Central Bank may suspend or revoke a license granted to a Financial Market Infrastructure, in accordance with the provisions of Article nos. (154) and (155) of this decree-law, via an official notice to the operator or the Settlement Institution of the concerned infrastructure, and take necessary actions in this respect, as the case may be, if it considered that such infrastructure is no longer capable of conducting its operations. The Central Bank shall allow such period as specified in the notice referred to in this item, which shall not be less than twenty (20) working days from date of notification, within which the concerned infrastructure operator or its Settlement Institution may object to the Central Bank’s decision to suspend or revoke the license and provide their justifications for such objection before the Grievances and Appeals Committee, in accordance with the provisions of this decree-law. 2. The Central Bank, if it considers that any Designated Infrastructure licensed by any of the Regulatory Authorities in the State, abroad, or in a Financial Free Zone is no longer capable of conducting its operations, may request the concerned regulatory authority, via an official notice, to suspend or revoke the license of this infrastructure and take necessary actions in this respect, as the case may be. The concerned regulatory authority shall have the right to approve or reject the request of the Central Bank. In case of approval, the procedures and controls in force by the concerned authority shall be applicable. 3. In all cases, the suspension or revocation of a license granted to a Designated Infrastructure in accordance with the provisions of this article, shall not affect any transaction cleared or settled through the concerned infrastructure prior to the effective date of suspension or revocation.
