Regulations on the Ratio, Calculation and Maintenance of Required Reserves

The Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan issues these regulations to standardize how banks and foreign bank branches determine, calculate, and maintain required reserve ratios. The framework mandates monthly calculations based on average daily balances of liabilities in manat, foreign currency, and precious metals, applying differentiated ratios according to deposit types, linked and related party shares, and legal entity size thresholds. Banks must submit compliance reports within five working days, maintain balances in designated correspondent accounts, and face financial sanctions for shortfalls during the maintenance period.

  2. Reserve requirement ratio and its calculation 2.1. The reserve requirement ratio is determined as a percentage of liabilities. 2.2. Depending the share of linked deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals), the share of related party deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals), and whether total amount of national currency denominated deposits of legal entities exceeds AZN1B and total amount foreign currency denominated deposits of legal entities exceeds AZN750M equivalent, the reserve requirement ratio is determined by the Management Board of the Central Bank differentiated as follows: 2.2.1. attracted in the national currency: 2.2.1.1. on deposits of individuals and unincorporated individuals (hereinafter – private entrepreneurs). 2.2.1.2. on deposits of legal entities. 2.2.2. attracted in foreign currency: 2.2.2.1. on deposits of individuals and private entrepreneurs. 2.2.2.2. on deposits of legal entities. 2.2.3. on deposits attracted in precious metals. 2.2.4. due to the non-resident financial sector and settlements with international financial institutions: 2.2.4.1. on liabilities and settlements in manat. 2.2.4.2. liabilities and settlements in foreign currency. 2.2.4.3.on liabilities in precious metals. 2.3.

Required reserves are calculated on the basis of the average daily balance of the bank's calculation base for the calculation period (Annex 1). The share of linked deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals) and the share of related party deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals) is calculated based on average daily balance of the calculation period and included to the required reserve report. 2.5-1. When related deposits belong to several groups, the share of the group with the highest total amount should be taken and included in the report. 2.5-2. When calculating the share of related party deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals), all related parties should be considered collectively. 2.5-3. When deposits simultaneously belong to a related party and linked deposits, they should be considered in both the calculation of the share of linked deposits in total deposits and the calculation of the share of related party deposits in total deposits. 2.5-4. When calculating the share of linked deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals) and the share of related party deposits in total deposits (both in national and foreign currency for legal entities and individuals) the following deposits are not considered in linked and related party deposits: 2.5-4.1. deposits of financial institutions, including accounts of banks’ subsidiary financial institutions. 2.5-4.2. loro accounts. 2.5-4.3. deposits attracted as subordinated debt liabilities. 2.6.

2.7. The calculation period begins on the first and ends on the last calendar day of each month. 2.8. When a bank is reorganized in line with the reorganization form required reserves for the reorganized bank(s) are re-calculated on the basis of the bank’s (s’) calculation. 2.9. The Bank should submit a report on required reserves (Annex 2) to the Central Bank within 5 (five) work days after the calculation period. 2.10. Required reserves for the next maintenance period are determined with the said report. 2.11. Deposits in the balance of the bank outside the Republic of Azerbaijan are not included to the calculation base. 3. Maintaining required reserves 3.1. Required reserves are maintained in the bank’s correspondent account with the Central Bank. 3.2. The maintenance period begins on the 15th calendar day of the month following the end of the calculation period and lasts until the 14th calendar day of the following month. 3.3. Average daily balance of the correspondent account for the maintenance period should not be less than required reserves calculated on the basis of the calculation base covering the last calculation period. 3.4. The balance of correspondent accounts for non-work days over the maintenance period is taken into account in the amount of the balance of the previous work day. 3.5. The Bank should maintain required reserves on deposits in the national currency and precious metals included to the calculation base in correspondent accounts in the manat with the Central Bank, and on deposits in foreign currency in correspondent accounts with the Central Bank in the USD. 3.6. If the rule of calculation or maintenance of required reserves is violated during the maintenance period, a financial sanction is imposed on the bank for unmet amount of required reserves in accordance with Article 32 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan ‘on the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan’ and the financial sanction amount is deducted from the bank’s correspondent account(s) with the Central Bank. 3.7. If average daily balance of the bank's correspondent account for the maintenance period is less than AZN2000 (two thousand) or equivalent than required reserves calculated for that maintenance period, average daily balance of the bank's correspondent account for the next maintenance period should be kept in excess as much as that amount. This situation is not allowed to be repeated in one calendar year. 3.8. Every bank should appoint an officer responsible for maintaining required reserves and deliver written information on that person (1st, last and middle names, position with the bank and contact requisites) to the Central Bank. In case the officer responsible for maintaining required reserves changes, the bank should deliver the above information on the new officer to the Central bank within 3 (three) work days. 3.9. To maintain macroeconomic stability, resilience and sustainability of financial markets, when the Management Board of the Central Bank takes a decision on payment of interest on required reserves, all credit institutions are notified accordingly. The interest is paid within the period specified in the decision of the Management Board and applies to all credit institutions that maintain reserve requirements.
