PRODUCTION AND TRANSMISSION OF DOCUMENTS TO THE BANQUE NATIONALE DE DJIBOUTI

---

The review of documents submitted to the Banque Nationale de Djibouti by credit institutions has revealed that gaps and delays persist in this regard. This finding leads me to remind banks that incomplete or improperly prepared documents, especially when submitted late, hinder the work necessary for the analysis and monitoring of the banking system. This also compromises the reliability of economic and financial information communicated to national authorities and the International Monetary Fund as part of the structural adjustment program concluded with the latter. This circular therefore aims to restate certain of the banks' obligations and henceforth indicate the submission deadlines for the documents listed below to the Banque Nationale de Djibouti:
