The Central Bank of Bahrain has restructured its prudential information returns to align with Module CA changes and requires all locally incorporated conventional banks to complete the revised form on a trial basis. Banks must use June 2014 data to validate internal pro-forma capital adequacy calculations under the Basel III regime, testing new pages in Sections B, C5, and C6 before formal reporting begins for the quarter ending 31 March 2015. Completed Excel forms must be submitted via email to the CBB by 15 November 2014, after which the finalized version will be published in the bank's Rulebook.
