Capital Adequacy Guideline – Measurement of Credit Risk – Standardised Approach
The Central Bank of Barbados issued this guideline to establish regulatory capital requirements for credit risk using the Standardised Approach for all licensed financial institutions in Barbados. The document mandates the assignment of specific supervisory risk weights to on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures based on counterparty type, credit ratings, and collateral status. It further details calculation methodologies for risk-weighted assets, including provisions for credit risk mitigation, retail portfolios, and past due loans.
