Licensees and financial holding companies will be required to report the Leverage Ratio using the updated version of the CBlO0LR for submissions dated as at September 30, 2024 and onward. The revised template can be found on the Central Bank's website at https://www.central-bank.org.tt/publications/regulatory-retums/banking-sector-regulaton￾retums. Licensees or financial holding companies that fail to submit reports using the new version will be required to resubmit the report. Submissions are to be made via the Central Bank's Go Anywhere portal, twenty (20) working days after the reporting date, as is currently done. Similar to the last correspondence to facilitate the receipt ofthe CB1 00LR via the portal, all reporting institutions must adhere to the following naming convention:
