  • CA-15.6 CA-15.6 Additional Requirements

    • CA-15.6.1

      A higher ratio may be required for any Bahraini conventional bank licensee if warranted by its risk profile or circumstances. The CBB may use stress testing as a complementing tool to adjust the leverage ratio requirement at the macro- and/or individual Bahraini conventional bank licensee-level.

    • CA-15.6.2

      The leverage ratio can be used for both micro- and macro prudential surveillance; for example, as a macro prudential tool, a consistent leverage ratio can be applied for all Bahraini conventional bank licensees as an indicator for monitoring vulnerability. As a micro prudential tool, it can be used as a trigger for increased surveillance or capital requirements for specific licensees under the supervisory review process.
