CA-1.1.11

The CBB requires regulatory capital to be held to cater for DCR and the operational risk mentioned in Paragraph CA-6.1.1 in view of the residual risk to the Islamic bank licensee and its shareholders. To be prudent, the CBB requires Islamic bank licensees to provide regulatory capital to cover a minimum requirement arising from 30% of the risk weighted assets and contingencies financed by the UPSIAs. Therefore, for the purpose of calculating its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), the risk-weighted assets of an Islamic bank licensee consist of the sum of the risk-weighted assets financed by the Islamic bank licensee's own capital and liabilities, plus 30% (shown below as α) of the risk-weighted assets financed by the Islamic bank licensee's UPSIAs as outlined in Paragraph CA-1.1.12.
