The capital floor is based on previous capital adequacy Rules issued by CBB dated July 2004. It is derived by applying an adjustment factor to the following amount: (i) 8% of the risk-weighted assets, (ii) plus Tier 1 and Tier 2 deductions. The adjustment factor for banks applying the foundation IRB approach for the year 2008 is 95%. The adjustment factor for the year 2009 is 90%, and for the year 2010 is 80%. The following table illustrates the application of the adjustment factors. Additional transitional arrangements including parallel calculation are set out in Paragraphs CA-5.2.45 to CA-5.2.51.
