The Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) Module sets out the Central Bank of Bahrain's ('CBB's) framework applicable to Bahraini conventional bank licensees identified as D-SIBs. This module provides guidance on the CBB's assessment methodology for identifying D-SIBs, and the Higher Loss Absorbency ('HLA') capital requirements to which such banks will be subject. The Module also sets out the supervisory measures and requirements to be applied by banks identified as being systemically important. This requirement is supported by Article 44(c) of the Central Bank of Bahrain and Financial Institutions Law 2006 ('CBB Law') (Decree No. 64 of 2006).
