The 60-second version
Kiribati has no stock exchange — expats close bank custody or offshore fund folios, wire AUD to NRE, and disclose in Schedule FA.
No local exchange — Tarawa custody often shares ANZ Kiribati account
Kiribati does not operate a listed exchange — investment accounts are bank custody or offshore AUD fund folios.
Redeem holdings and obtain custody termination before closing linked AUD bank account.
