Agreement No. 2-2026: Modification of Article 2 of Agreement No. 3-2016 on Risk-Weighted Assets
The Banking Superintendence of Panama issued Agreement No. 2-2026 to amend Article 2 of Agreement No. 3-2016 regarding the classification of assets for risk-weighted capital calculations. The regulation explicitly adds the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) to Category 1, granting it a 0% risk weight alongside other multilateral development banks. This change aligns Panamanian banking standards with Basel Committee guidelines and ensures consistent treatment of CEB instruments in capital adequacy assessments.
