    • Executive Summary

      • PB-A.1.1

        The Principles of Business are a general statement of the fundamental obligations of all Central Bank of Bahrain ('CBB') conventional bank licensees and approved persons. They serve as a basis for other material in Volume 1 (Conventional Banks), and help address specific circumstances not covered elsewhere in the Rulebook.

      • PB-A.1.2

        The Principles of Business have the status of Rules and apply alongside other Rules contained in Volume 1 (Conventional Banks). However, these other Rules do not exhaust the fundamental obligations contained in the Principles. Compliance with all other Rules, therefore, does not necessarily guarantee compliance with the Principles of Business.
