  • Evolution of the Module

    • BR-A.3.2

      Prior to the development of the Rulebook, the Agency had issued various circulars representing regulations covering different aspects of BMA reporting structure. These circulars were subsequently compiled into a folder "Part 2: Reports" which was part of the information pack ("The Establishment, regulations and supervision of banks and other financial institutions in Bahrain") issued in 1997. The contents of that information pack have now been incorporated in this module.

    • BR-A.3.3

      In addition, certain circulars have been incorporated in this module that supplement the BMA reporting requirements set out in the information pack mentioned in paragraph BR-A.3.2. These circulars and their evolution into this module are listed below:
