Guidelines for CAMELS Ratings at Liberian Banks
The Central Bank of Liberia’s Bank Supervision Department mandates the CAMELS rating system to evaluate and supervise commercial banks through six core components: capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk. Each component is scored on a scale of one to five, with ratings of one and two indicating strong or satisfactory conditions while three through five signal increasing supervisory concerns requiring management action. The guidelines standardize evaluation factors and examination procedures while keeping the resulting ratings confidential to bank boards, senior management, and supervisory authorities.
