The decree introduces a two-category classification system that defines specific basic, minimum, and maximum monetary thresholds for violations, ranging from zero to one million Aruban florins depending on the severity and duration of non-compliance. The Bank is authorized to adjust these baseline amounts by up to one hundred percent or double them when the financial benefit of a violation exceeds standard limits, with the regulations taking effect on January 1, 2012.
