Implementation of Risk Based Supervision (RBS): Supervisory Expectations and Banks’ Preparedness

Bangladesh Bank implements Risk Based Supervision (RBS) across the banking sector starting January 2026, replacing the existing compliance-based approach. All scheduled banks must establish an RBS Coordination Committee by October 2025, conduct gap analyses and develop Board-approved action plans by November 2025, and complete system upgrades, awareness programs, and documentation updates by December 2025. Banks are required to submit a self-assessment report and updated action plan to the regulator by December 2025, with failure to meet these milestones subject to enhanced supervisory attention or remedial directives.
