Purpose of document
This document is intended to provide a collection of abbreviations and defined terms that are used throughout the BPR series of documents issued by the Reserve Bank. The document does not currently contain all the abbreviations and definitions used in the BPR series, but the aim is that it will be amended from time to time to expand its ambit, so that it will ultimately become a comprehensive collection of all abbreviations and defined words and phrases used in the BPR-series documents. This glossary is for use only with BPR-series documents, and the abbreviations and definitions it contains do not necessarily apply to other Reserve Bank documents.

Conditions of registration
The Banking (Prudential Supervision) Act 1989 (the Act) permits the Reserve Bank to impose conditions of registration (conditions) on registered banks1 . The Reserve Bank publishes documents that are cross-referred to in individual conditions of registration, and in that way form
part of the requirements imposed by those conditions.
This document BPR001: Glossary provides definitions for a number of terms. The definition of a term gives the meaning a term has for the purpose of determining the nature of the requirement imposed by any of the documents the term appears in, and for ensuring that a bank complies with the related conditions of registration. As an interim measure, terms in the Glossary are only applicable to those documents referred to in banks’ conditions of registration that belong to the new-style documents in the BPR series.

• All of the material set out in this document forms part of the requirements of the
  applicable conditions, except material that is expressly identified as guidance by being included in a shaded box like this. ____________ 1 The conditions can relate to any of the matters referred to in sections 73 – 73B, 78 and 81. The standard conditions are contained in Appendix 1 of document BS1: Statement of Principles.
