The Banking and Financial Supervision Commission (CSBF) of Madagascar issued Instruction No. 003/2000-CSBF to regulate direct and indirect credit commitments granted by licensed institutions to their shareholders, directors, officers, staff, and statutory auditors. The regulation caps cumulative commitments at 10% of available own funds, mandates board authorization and normal market conditions for such grants, and requires quarterly reporting alongside periodic financial statements. Institutions exceeding the limit must take corrective measures within a stipulated timeframe or face sanctions, while the CSBF retains authority to grant temporary derogations.
