The Central Bank of The Bahamas issued these revised April 2012 guidelines to establish minimum liquidity risk management requirements for all licensed banks and trust companies. Licensees must implement comprehensive governance frameworks, maintain statutory liquidity ratios using highly marketable assets, and deploy robust measurement systems that project cash flows under normal and stressed conditions. The updated framework mandates active board and senior management oversight, standardized contingency funding plans, and periodic regulatory reporting to ensure ongoing financial viability and alignment with Basel Committee principles.
