The Commission for the Control of Banks and Financial Institutions (CCBEF) of Madagascar issued Instruction No. 003/94 to establish a permanent risk division ratio limiting exposure to any single beneficiary at 70% of available own funds, reducible to 40%. The regulation mandates licensed banks and financial institutions to calculate risks across clients and credit institutions, apply specific weighting rates (20% to 100%), and deduct supplementary provisions and approved guarantees. Institutions must submit monthly risk statements, regularize any breaches by April 1995, and comply with phased limits effective September 1995 and 1996.
