Regulation on Ongoing Capital Requirements for Investment Firms
The Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan issued Resolution № 13/8 to establish ongoing capital requirements for investment firms and their foreign branches. The regulation mandates that these entities maintain total regulatory capital, structured into Tier 1 and Tier 2 components, sufficient to cover credit, market, operational, settlement, counterparty, and concentration risks. Firms are classified into Category I or II based on asset value and services, triggering specific calculation methodologies, mandatory capital deductions, and immediate notification protocols when total capital ratios drop below 1.025.
