• Deductions from capital base

    • CM-5.5.13

      The Agency will examine particularly closely all exposures to companies or persons connected to a bank and will deduct them from the bank's (consolidated) capital base if they are, in the Agency's opinion, of the nature of a capital investment, or provision of long-term working capital, or are made on particularly concessionary terms.

    • CM-5.5.14

      Any other form of connected lending outside the scope of the above will be dealt with by the Agency on a case-by-case basis.
