The Financial Institutions (Capital Adequacy) Regulations 2020

The Minister of Finance of Trinidad and Tobago issued Legal Notice No. 95 of 2020 to establish comprehensive capital adequacy requirements for financial institutions under the Financial Institutions Act. These regulations define regulatory capital components, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, and mandate specific minimum capital adequacy ratios to mitigate credit, operational, and market risks. The framework further imposes capital conservation buffers, leverage ratios, and consolidated reporting obligations to ensure the stability and resilience of the national financial sector.
