Technical Standards on the Granting of Credits to Related Parties of a Cooperative Bank

The Standards Committee of the Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador issued Technical Standards NRP-75 to regulate credit operations granted to related parties of cooperative banks and their federations. The regulations establish strict limits, capping total credit exposure to related individuals at 5% and to related legal entities at 10% of the cooperative's equity fund, while mandating detailed reporting and conflict-of-interest disclosures. These rules supersede previous norms and aim to ensure prudent risk management and transparency in the financial system.
