IBA Circular No. 4 of 1999: Calculation of Capital Requirements
The Central Bank of Belize issued this circular to prescribe the methodology for calculating the capital-to-risk assets ratio for International Banking Act licensees. It mandates a minimum total capital ratio of 10 percent, requiring at least 5 percent to be primary capital, while defining eligible primary and secondary capital components and specific risk-weighting classifications for assets. Licensees are required to submit quarterly reports on their risk-weighted capital ratios within fifteen working days after the end of each quarter, with non-compliance resulting in penalties or supervisory action.
