Any major investments by a Bahraini Islamic bank licensee in the capital instruments of another entity must be included in the measure of an ‘exposure’ for the purposes of this Chapter, i.e. such major investments must be aggregated with all other facilities to a client for the purpose of calculating the level of ‘large exposures’. Where a percentage ownership increase results in the licensee exceeding the single large exposure limit, the 800 percent risk-weight rule must be applied (see CM-2.5).
