CA-1.1.13

All transactions, including forward sales and purchases, must be included in the calculation of capital requirements as from the date on which they were entered into. Although regular reporting takes place quarterly, Islamic bank licensees must manage their risks in such a way that the capital and leverage requirements are being met on a continuous basis, i.e. at the close of each business day. Islamic bank licensees must not "window-dress" by showing significantly lower credit or market risk positions on reporting dates. Islamic bank licensees must maintain strict risk management systems to ensure that intra-day exposures are not excessive. If an Islamic bank licensee fails to meet the capital requirements of this Module, the Islamic bank licensee must take immediate measures to rectify the situation as detailed in Section CA-1.2.
