    • OM-6.3.2

      In the case of Bahrain Islamic bank licensees, these requirements apply to the licensee as a whole, including any overseas branches. In the case of overseas Islamic bank licensees, all the requirements of Chapter OM-6 are limited to the business booked in their branch in Bahrain and the records of that branch (see Rule OM-6.1.1). They are thus not required to hold copies of shareholders' and Directors' meetings, except where relevant to the branch's operations.
