Amendments Proposed to the Banking Act

The Financial Services Commission has proposed amendments to the Banking Act that relax specific compliance and capital requirements for financial institutions. These regulatory changes simultaneously remove investment limits on designated classes of debt securities, thereby expanding permissible asset allocations. Published in January 2018, the proposals aim to enhance market liquidity and streamline regulatory oversight for domestic and foreign entities.
