The 60-second version

New Caledonia has no listed exchange — expats close bank custody or offshore fund folios, wire XPF to NRE, and disclose in Schedule FA.

No local exchange — Nouméa custody at BNC or offshore broker

New Caledonia does not operate a listed exchange — investment accounts are bank custody or offshore XPF fund folios.

Redeem holdings and obtain custody termination before closing linked XPF bank account.
