The CBB requires each Bahraini Islamic bank licensee to set out its policy and internal limits on large exposures, including limits for differing types of exposures, to individual customers, banks, corporates, countries, regions, products, asset classes, collateral, currencies, markets, commodities, connected counterparties and economic sectors, in a policy statement which must be formally approved by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, licensees must not implement significant changes to this policy without the prior approval of the Board.
