Risk weight for Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)
The regulatory authority assigns a 0% risk weight to all qualifying exposures to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), aligning domestic capital requirements with Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standards for multilateral development banks. This directive applies immediately to debt securities and loan commitments held by regulated banking institutions, requiring prompt updates to capital adequacy calculations. The ruling supersedes prior conflicting provisions and takes effect upon issuance, ensuring consistent risk assessment across the financial sector.
