Capital Adequacy Regulatory Framework for Banks Operating in Lebanon
The Governor of the Central Bank of Lebanon issued Interim Decision No. 13814 to temporarily amend Article Ten of Basic Decision No. 6939, reducing the required Liquidity Reserves ratio from 2.5% for banks operating in Lebanon during 2023 through 2026. This temporary exception permits banks to gradually replenish the shortfall in accordance with subsequent Central Bank instructions, while remaining compliant with Paragraph Four of the same article. The amended framework takes immediate effect upon issuance and is published in the Official Gazette to ensure regulatory continuity for the banking sector.
