Recommendations on Corporate Governance Standards in Banks

The Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan issues these recommendations to align bank corporate governance frameworks with international standards and enhance sector stability. The document mandates specific Supervisory Board compositions, requiring independent chairpersons or lead independent members, diverse age and gender representation, and targeted professional expertise.
