Production and Transmission of Documents to the Banque Nationale de Djibouti – Circular No. 01/BND/99
The Banque Nationale de Djibouti, through Circular No. 01/BND/99 issued by Governor Djama M. Haid, mandates credit institutions to submit specified annual, semi-annual, quarterly, bi-monthly, monthly, and weekly documents by strictly defined deadlines to ensure timely banking system analysis and accurate reporting to national authorities and the IMF. The circular clarifies submission obligations for financial statements, risk coverage ratios, balance of payments statistics, interest rates, and factual declarations, while introducing a tiered daily penalty structure ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 Djiboutian francs for late or missing submissions. These penalties are remitted to the National Treasury and directly incentivize compliance, thereby strengthening the reliability of disseminated economic and financial data under the ongoing structural adjustment program.
