Interest Rate Risk Management Guidelines
The Central Bank of The Bahamas issues these guidelines to establish minimum interest rate risk management standards for all licensed banks and trust companies. Licensees must implement comprehensive policies, measurement systems, and risk limits to identify, monitor, and control interest rate exposures across both earnings and economic value perspectives. The framework mandates clear board and senior management oversight, standardized risk reporting, and public disclosure of hedging strategies to ensure financial stability and regulatory compliance.
