  • Obligation to Maintain Adequate Capital

    • CA-1.1A.1

      Overseas investment firm licensees must calculate their Regulatory Capital based on the audited net assets booked in the Bahrain branch, determined in accordance with accounting standards that would be applicable if they were a joint stock company incorporated in Bahrain. Overseas investment firm licensees must ensure that their Regulatory Capital meets the minimum capital requirements specified in Section CA-1.2 onwards.

    • CA-1.1A.2

      While the capital adequacy requirements for Bahraini investment firm licensees and for overseas investment firm licensees are identical (and are defined in CA-1 and CA-3), the calculation of the licensee's regulatory capital varies, according to whether the investment firm licensee is locally incorporated or a branch operation.
