Regulation on the Authorization Application for Financial Institutions
The Central Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe establishes comprehensive capital requirements, fee structures, and procedural timelines for financial institutions seeking operational authorization. The regulation standardizes application documentation, feasibility studies, risk management frameworks, and foreign bank branch eligibility to align with national financial growth. It further mandates preliminary and final authorization stages, supervisory oversight, and the maintenance of a public special register to ensure regulatory compliance and institutional transparency.
