Final Basel 3 Rulebook Module CA for Conventional Banks

The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) updates its Module CA framework by introducing standardized glossary definitions for Volumes 1 and 2. These amendments explicitly define affiliate relationships, credit risk, market risk, operational risk, and securities financing transactions to clarify capital treatment for on- and off-balance sheet exposures. The revised terminology ensures consistent risk assessment for interest rate, equity, foreign exchange, and commodity positions across both trading and banking books.
