REF: CB-OIFI-3559/2025 ISSUANCE OF REPORTING TEMPLATE FOR THE LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO Reference is made to Circular Letter ref#: CB-OIFI-3137/2025 dated September 11, 2025, wherein the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago (“Central Bank”) notified the industry of the issuance of the CB120 LCR, the reporting template for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) and the CB120 LMT, the reporting template for the Liquidity Monitoring Tools (“LMT”). The Central Bank has since updated the CB120 LCR return to revise certain validations to prevent the automatic generation of “FALSE” validations. The revised CB120 LCR template has been posted to the website at: https://www.central￾bank.org.tt/resources-database/all-categories/#regulatory-returns-banking-sector. Licensees and FHCs are advised that the updated version of the CB120 LCR is V1.1 therefore the naming convention for submission will change to the following: Naming Convention for CB120 LCR: InstitutionCode_CB120LCR_V1.1_MMMYYYY.xlsx Whilst the naming convention for the CB120 LMT remains the same as before: Naming Convention for CB120 LMT: InstitutionCode_CB120LMT_V1.0_MMMYYYY.xlsx As previously advised, submissions are to be made via the Central Bank’s Go Anywhere portal, and also submitted in hard copy until institutions are no longer required to submit hard copy returns. Institution codes to be used are the same as those currently used for FEDM submissions and any submissions not appropriately named will not be accepted through the portal. As a reminder, the timeline for submitting reports includes a 12-month transition period as shown in the Table below: …/2
