Statute overview

About this statute

This provision states the Regulation’s purpose: to adjust bank supervision based on risk, complexity, and business model, and to support financial stability. This regulation applies to all categories of banks. This article defines terms used in the regulation, including “proportionality” and “bank,” and says development banks may not collect deposits from the public. Banks are classified into two levels based on total assets, and cooperative banks and development banks are excluded from that classification. Banks must have board committees under the banking governance rules; Level II banks must have a Risk Committee, Audit Committee, and Credit Committee.
