• Deductions from Total Capital

    • CM-4.4.14

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