About this statute

This provision states the regulation’s purpose: to establish regulatory requirements for financial holding companies. This article says the regulation applies to certain financial holding companies in Rwanda, and also to some unregistered ones unless they are already supervised on a global consolidated basis elsewhere. This article defines key terms used in the regulation, including financial holding company, regulated financial institution, consolidated supervision, affiliate, significant holding, and senior manager. A qualifying financial holding company must apply to the Central Bank for a license. A license application must be accompanied by specified documents and payment proof, and promoters must undertake to keep the company adequately capitalized and subject to Central Bank supervision.
