Instruction No. 59 on Systemically Important Institutions at the National Level

The Central Bank of Congo establishes criteria and a scoring methodology to identify systemically important credit institutions and financial companies, including banks, investment banks, savings banks, microfinance institutions, and credit cooperatives. Identified institutions must maintain an additional capital buffer equal to 1% of net risk-weighted assets, phased in over two years, and may be subject to stricter liquidity, leverage, and dividend distribution requirements. The Central Bank publishes the list of designated institutions and the applicable systemic threshold annually on its official website.
