In the case of a Bahrain incorporated bank's subsidiary inside Bahrain, in order for an exposure exceeding 15% of capital base to be acceptable in the subsidiary, the Bahrain parent bank must at all times have the capacity to take on the exposure to the third party, without itself exceeding the limit of 15% of capital base. Also, the total exposure of the banking group to the customer must be within 15% of the parent bank's consolidated capital base.
