4. Objectives

1. The objectives of these Regulations shall be to—
   a) ensure that takaful operators maintain sufficient capital reserves to protect the Participants’ and Shareholders’ Funds; b) ensure that licensed takaful operators maintain a capital adequacy level that is commensurate with their risk profile at all times; c) promote the development of the takaful industry through establishing the regulatory framework for takaful operators carrying out takaful business; and d) achieve alignment with capital standards such as the insurance capital standard issued by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) and the relevant standards issued by the Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB).

5. Introduction

1. The amount of capital held by a takaful operator is fundamental to the financial
   strength of the takaful operator. It provides a buffer against losses that have not been anticipated and, in the event of adverse exposures enables the takaful operator to continue operating, pending restoration of solvency resources to required levels.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
6. Capital Adequacy Ratio

1. The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) shall serve as a key indicator of a takaful operator’s
   financial stability. The Bank shall use it to determine the level of supervisory intervention required.
2. The level of capital adequacy for takaful operators shall be assessed based on the
   total capital available and the total capital required.
3. The capital adequacy ratio shall be computed separately for each segregated fund,
   including the Shareholder’s Funds and the Participant’s Funds.
4. A takaful operator shall determine total capital required at the entity level as the
   aggregate of the capital required for each fund.
5. The capital adequacy ratio shall be computed as—
   CAR =
   𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒
   𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑
   ∗ 100%

7. Total Capital Available

1. For calculation of the capital adequacy ratio at the entity level, total capital available
   shall be computed as the sum of the total capital available in both the Shareholders’ and Participants’ Funds.
2. A Takaful operator shall determine the capital available for each fund by calculating
   the total capital, less any regulatory adjustments and deductions as specified in these Regulations

8. Classification of Capital

1. Capital elements shall be considered based on the following characteristics—
   a) it is permanent; b) it’s able to absorb losses in all circumstances, including on an ongoing concern basis, in run-off, wind-up, or insolvency-subject to the constraints of fund segregation, c) it ranks for repayment upon winding up after all other debts and liabilities; and d) it has no fixed costs, that is, there is no inescapable obligation to pay dividends or profit.

2. Total capital shall comprise of an aggregate of either of the following, but not limited
   to— a) Issued and paid-up ordinary shares b) share premium reserves; c) adjusted retained earnings; and d) statutory reserves as may be prescribed. e) Accumulated surplus at the level of the Participants’ Risk fund.

3. A takaful operator shall not reduce its total capital without prior approval from the Bank.

4. Deductions

5. The following shall be considered inadmissible for the purposes of calculating the
   takaful operator’s capital adequacy— a) goodwill and other intangible assets such as patents, software, trademarks, and other assets shown on the balance sheet as intangible assets; b) right of use assets (usufruct) (Ijarah); c) deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities, if any; d) assets pledged to support credit facilities obtained by a takaful operator; e) credit facilities granted against a takaful operator’s own shares; f) Qard-Hasan to the Takaful Fund; g) other fixed assets e.g., computer equipment, office equipment, motor vehicles and furniture and fittings; h) assets above the allowed concentration limit as specified in Appendix 1.

9. Capital Available in the Participants’ Risk Fund

1. The capital available for takaful operators under the Participants’ Risk Fund shall be
   calculated as the sum of the total net admissible assets available to meet the required capital adequacy ratio and the balance of Qard-Hasan at the end of the reporting period.
2. Total net admissible assets available to meet the required capital adequacy ratio shall
   be— a) sum of the following—
   i. takaful Fund assets

ii. takaful Fund liabilities including Qard- Hasan
iii. unrealized gains (Family takaful)
b) less the following elements—
i. overconcentration of assets within the Participants’ Risk Fund
ii. surplus distribution to participants
iii. assets pledged or provided as collateral (Family takaful)
iv. unpaid contributions
3) Balance of Qard Hasan at end of reporting period shall be computed as—
a) sum of the following—
i. Balance of Qard Hasan brought forward
ii. Increase in Qard Hasan (new loan)
iii. Decrease in Qard Hasan (repayment)
b) less Provision on Qard Hasan (impairment)
10. Capital Available in the Shareholder’s Fund

1. The takaful operator needs to have sufficient capital resources to withstand
   unexpected increases in management expenses or reduction in income, which could cause operating losses to the takaful operator leading to financial distress.
2. The second level of capital adequacy requirements is to ensure adequate capital
   resources of the takaful operator’s Shareholders’ Fun to meet its own financial and legal obligations, including the possible need to provide capital backing in the way of Qard facility to the Participant’s Risk Fund
3. In addition, the takaful operator’s capital resources may need to be sufficient to allow
   it to provide additional capital as a Qard facility to the Participants’ Risk Fund should this be necessary to cover a shortfall in the Fund’s capital resources.
4. The assessment of the amount of the capital resource requirements for the takaful
   operator should be generally based on the potential volatility of expenses and most importantly the level, volatility and flexibility of the takaful operator’s income after taking account of the amount needed for the Qard facility.

11. Total Capital Required

1. The Risk Based Capital requirements (RBC), for a licensed takaful operator is the
   aggregate of the RBC required for each of the takaful funds operated by it and the RBC requirements of its own operational and financial risk exposures.
2. Total Capital Required in the Shareholders’ Fund shall be the higher of—
   a) the Minimum Target Capital of one million dollars (USD 1,000,000); or b) Risk Based Capital determined from time to time.
3. Total Capital Required in the Participants’ Risk Fund shall be the risk-based capital
   determined from time to time.
4. The Capital Adequacy Ratio shall meet or exceed 100% of the Total Capital Required
   for both the Shareholders’ and Participants’ Funds to ensure compliance with the Minimum Target Capital (MTC) and Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR).
5. The Prescribed Capital Requirement (PCR) and Prescribed Target Capital (PTC) is
   the level above which there is no supervisory intervention on capital adequacy grounds and is set at 150%.

12. Risk Based Capital Model

1. The Risk Based Capital shall comprise of the aggregate of capital charges for credit,
   market, takaful and operational risks of the takaful operator.
2. Risk Based Capital (RBC) for the Shareholders’ Fund shall be the square root of the
   sum of squares of Capital required for— a) market Risk; and b) credit Risk; c) plus the Capital Required for operational risk i.e. RBC=√𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙2 + 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙2 +𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 +
3. Risk Based Capital (RBC) for the Participants’ Risk Fund shall be the square root of
   the sum of squares of Capital required for— a) takaful Risk;

b) market Risk; and c) credit Risk; i.e.
RBC= √𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑎𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙2 + 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙2 + 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙2
4) The risk-based capital shall be computed as a sum of the risk-based capital for the
Participants’ Risk Fund and the Shareholders’ Fund.
5) The takaful liabilities shall only apply to the Participants’ Risk Fund.
13. Credit Risk Capital Charge

1. Takaful operators shall compute the credit risk charge to mitigate them from risk of
   losses as a result of the inability of a counterparty to meet its contractual obligations, risk of losses resulting from asset defaults and related losses of income.

2. Takaful operators shall compute the credit risk capital charges as follows:
   Credit Risk = exposure to counterparty * credit risk chargei where ‘i’ refers to the different exposures to counterparties in the respective takaful fund and shareholder funds.

3. The credit risk capital charge shall be the product of the credit risk exposure of a
   takaful fund and the credit risk charge for that particular takaful fund.

4. The credit risk charge aims to mitigate a licensed takaful operator’s risks of losses
   resulting from asset defaults, related losses of income and the inability or unwillingness of a counterparty to fully meet its contractual financial obligations.

5. Takaful operators shall consider the capital charges specified in Appendix 2A of
   these Regulations when calculating the credit risk capital charge.

6. When calculating the capital required for Retakaful ceded, factors specified in
   Appendix 2B of these Regulations shall apply to Retakaful share of technical
   liabilities.
   Market Risk

7. The capital charge for market risk shall seek to mitigate takaful operators from
   financial losses arising from volatility in the market prices of assets used to back takaful participant’s liabilities.

8. Takaful operators shall also be required to determine capital for currency risk, equity
   risk, profit rate risk and property risk.

9. Takaful operators shall compute the market risk capital charge as follows:
   Market Risk = Ö((𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑘2
   ) + (𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑦 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑘2
   ) + (𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑘2
   ) +
   (𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑘2
   ))
   Equity Risk = Equity Risk Exposure * risk charge Property Risk = Property Risk Exposure * risk charge Profit Risk = Max (Base Profit Rate – Increasing Profit Rate, Base Profit Rate – Decreasing Profit Rate) Currency Risk = Currency Risk Exposure * risk charge

10. Takaful operators shall consider factors specified in Appendix 3A of these
    Regulations when calculating market risk.

11. Takaful operators shall consider factors specified in Appendix 3A of these
    Regulations when calculating market risk.

14. Takaful Risks
    General Takaful Risks

1. Takaful operators underwriting general takaful business shall hold provisions against
   fluctuations in the contributions and claims reserves.
2. Takaful operators shall compute the general takaful risks capital charge as the sum
   of the product of the risk charges and the value of claims liabilities and value of provision for unexpired risk for each class of business respectively. General Takaful Risk = (Value of claims liabilities * risk charge) + (Value of provision for unexpired risk * risk charge)
3. Takaful operators shall use the risk factors specified in Appendix 4 of these
   Regulations when calculating the general takaful risks capital charge. Family Takaful Risks
4. The family takaful risks capital charge shall be computed as the difference between
   the adjusted best estimate value of family takaful liabilities (V*) computed using the stress factors stipulated less the value of the family takaful liabilities computed using the best estimate assumptions.
5. Takaful operators shall compute family takaful labilities as follows:
   Family Takaful risk = (V* – Value of family takaful liabilities)
6. Takaful operators shall apply the stress factors for major risks inherent in the family
   takaful business as stipulated in Appendix 5 of these Regulations.

15. Catastrophe Risk

1. Takaful operators shall apply a charge of 5% of the previous year’s net earned
   contributions for the purposes of calculating the capital required for catastrophes.
2. This capital charge of 5% shall be added to the takaful risks capital.

16. Operational Risks

1. The operational risks capital charge shall aim to mitigate a takaful operator’s risk of
   losses arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, systems and people in managing the takaful operations.

2. The operational risks shall also include the risk of losses arising from non-compliance
   to Shariah and failure by a licensed takaful operator in executing its fiduciary duties.

3. The operational risk charge shall be computed as:
   30% 𝑜𝑓 √𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑠2 + 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑠2 Additional Solvency Requirements

4. Takaful operators shall set their capital adequacy ratio at both the Shareholder’s
   Funds level and the Participant’s Funds level.

5. The MCR shall be the capital adequacy ratio for the Participant’s Funds while the
   MTC shall be the capital adequacy ratio for the Shareholder’s Fund.

6. The first level of capital adequacy requirements is to ensure adequate resources in
   the Participants’ Risk Fund to provide assurance that the Participants’ Risk Fund can meet claims from takaful participants.

7. The second level of capital adequacy requirements is to ensure adequate capital
   resources of the takaful operator to meet its own financial and legal obligations, including the possible need to provide capital backing in a way of a Qard facility to the Participants’ Risk Fund.

8. Any breach of MCR/MTC at the level of either the Participants’ Risk Fund or
   Shareholders’ Fund shall trigger immediate attention from the takaful operator who shall be required to inform the Bank immediately.

9. Where the capital available in the Participants’ Risk Fund is unable to meet the capital
   adequacy requirements, a capital injection (Qard) shall be made from the Shareholder’s Fund to meet the capital adequacy ratio required.

10. Where a Qard-Hasan has been granted to the Participants’ Fund, any income
    generated from the Qard shall be for the benefit of the Participants’ Fund and shall be recorded as an investment income for the Participants’ Fund.

11. The Qard-Hasan shall be repaid out of future surpluses of the Participants’ Fund.

12. When a Participants’ Risk Fund enters into an insolvent winding-up, the participants’
    claims would rank above any outstanding Qard. In such a case, the Qard facility should be considered to be fully part of regulatory capital. 10)The takaful operator shall endeavor, over time to bring the reserves in a Participants’ Risk Fund to a level at which the fund becomes self-sustaining with sufficient resources to meet capital adequacy requirements without the need to rely on a Qard.

17. Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA)

1. Own risk and solvency assessment is a forward-looking assessment of a takaful
   operator’s risk management policy, procedures, controls and their current and prospective solvency positions.
2. The objectives of ORSA include—
   a) to assess whether—
   i. the takaful operator’s own view of its solvency position is sufficient
   based on its risk profile and risk tolerance; and
   ii. its solvency position will probably remain satisfactory in the
   foreseeable future; b) to demonstrate how the takaful operator plans to manage the significant risks to which it is exposed to; and c) to identify potential weaknesses in the business.
3. Takaful operators shall conduct their ORSA at least annually and submit a report to
   the Bank.
4. In the event of significant changes to the takaful operator’s risk management strategy,
   strategic plan, or business plan, which could materially affect its capital adequacy, a new ORSA shall be conducted.
5. The takaful operator’s ORSA shall be proportional to the nature, scale and complexity
   of their business. It shall cover all takaful funds, considering transactions between Funds and the impact of Qard provided by the Shareholders’ Fund.

18. Stress and Scenario Testing

1. Stress and scenario testing seek to anticipate possible losses or risks that might occur
   or become manifest. In applying them, a takaful operator needs to decide how far forward to forecast and may want to consider the following factors—

a) how quickly it will be able to identify events or changes in circumstances that might lead to a loss occurring or the risk crystalizing; and b) after the event or circumstance has been identified, how quickly and effectively the takaful operator would act to prevent or mitigate any resulting loss from occurring and to reduce its exposure to any further adverse event or change in circumstance.
2) Takaful operators shall focus on those scenarios and combinations of scenarios that
are considered reasonably likely to occur.
3) In identifying what realistic combinations of losses or risks might occur or crystalize a
takaful operator shall consider scenarios in which expected combinations occur.
4) In determining whether it would have adequate financial resources in the event of
each identified adverse scenario a takaful operator should— a) only include financial resources that could be reasonably be relied upon as being available in the circumstances of the identified scenario; and b) consider any other legal restrictions on the purpose which financial resources may be used.
19. Reporting and Submission to the Bank

1. Takaful operators shall submit to the Bank their capital adequacy ratio calculations for
   the financial year end within 90 days of the end of the financial year.
2. The capital adequacy calculations referred to in paragraph one (1) above shall be
   certified by the Chief Executive Officer and the Signing Actuary of the takaful operator.
3. Quarterly capital adequacy calculations shall be submitted to the Bank 30 days to the
   end of the quarter and shall be certified by the Chief Executive Officer of the takaful operator.
4. Takaful operators whose capital adequacy fall below the minimum requirement shall
   be required to report their non-compliance to the Bank immediately.

SUPERVISORY INTERVENTIONS

1. Where the Bank determines that a takaful operator has not met the provisions of these
   Regulations, the Bank may impose any or all of the following administrative sanctions to correct the situation in accordance with the Takaful Law, including— a) increased supervision activity or reporting, or requiring auditors or actuaries to undertake an independent review or extend the scope of their examinations; b) measures to address capital levels, such as requesting capital and business plans for the restoration of capital resources to required levels, limitations on redemption or repurchase of equity or other instruments, repayment of Qarḍ and/or dividend payments, distributions, and other appropriations of surplus at the fund or the takaful operator level; c) measures intended to protect Takaful participants pending strengthening of the takaful operator’s capital position, such as restrictions on licenses, volumes of takaful contributions accepted, investments, types of business, acquisitions, and Retakaful arrangements; d) measures that strengthen or replace the takaful operator’s management and/or risk management framework and overall governance processes, for example, suspend, dismiss, disqualify or revoke the appointment of an officer of the takaful operator in a position as a board member, member of the senior management or key person in control function; e) measures that reduce or mitigate risks (and, hence, required capital), such as requesting Retakaful, hedging and other mechanisms; and/or refusing, or imposing conditions on, applications submitted for regulatory approval such as acquisitions or growth in business; and f) take any other action as may be deemed necessary.

20. Recovery Plans

1. Where the Bank determines that the capital adequacy ratio of a takaful operator is
   equal to or falls below the MCR and MTC, the Bank shall in writing require the takaful operator to submit a recovery plan.
2. The recovery plan shall at a minimum include—
   a) the key risks that contributed to the takaful operator’s current capital adequacy ratio; b) estimates of the current general expenses and commissions; c) income expenditures with regards to direct business, Retakaful acceptances and cessions; d) a forecast balance sheet; e) information about the overall policy regarding the Retakaful of the takaful operator; f) timelines during which specific corrective action shall be taken and achieved; and g) any other information the Bank may specify in writing.
3. The Bank shall hold the right to approve or disapprove a recovery plan.
4. Where the Bank is not satisfied with the takaful operator’s recovery plan, the Bank
   shall request for an amended recovery plan from the takaful operator.
5. Where the takaful operator fails to avail a recovery plan requested by the Bank in
   accordance with paragraph one (1) above, the Bank shall take action it shall consider necessary to ensure compliance.
