Issued by the National Bank of Rwanda, this regulation establishes comprehensive licensing and operational requirements for financial holding companies registered or operating domestically. It mandates specific capital adequacy, liquidity, and intra-group transaction standards while outlining detailed governance structures, permissible activities, and restrictions on shareholding acquisitions. The framework further enforces consolidated supervision, mandatory external audits, and integrated annual reporting, backed by administrative sanctions for non-compliance.
