Guidelines on the Revised International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards
The Bank of Botswana issued these guidelines to implement Basel II and selected Basel III enhancements across the domestic banking sector. The framework mandates regulated entities to calculate capital adequacy using revised risk-weighted asset methodologies, explicitly covering credit, market, and operational risks through standardized or advanced measurement approaches. It further requires banks to establish robust internal capital assessment processes, maintain supervisory review mechanisms, and comply with enhanced market discipline disclosures while following a phased implementation schedule.
