Directive No 02/2018 on Capital Charge Computation for Credit, Market and Operational Risks and Leverage Ratio Treatment
The National Bank of Rwanda issues Directive No 02/2018 to establish standardized methodologies for calculating risk-weighted assets and capital charges across credit, market, and operational risks, alongside leverage ratio treatment. The directive mandates that licensed banks apply these capital requirements on both standalone and consolidated levels while conducting periodic internal control reviews and submitting quarterly regulatory reports. Furthermore, it empowers the Central Bank to enforce corrective actions and administrative sanctions when banks fail to maintain compliance with the prescribed prudential standards.
