About this statute

This article states the regulation’s purpose: to set requirements for banks’ investments and to reduce concentration risk from excessive placements and deposits in other banks or financial institutions. This article defines key banking terms used in the Regulation, including bank, Central Bank, major investment, placement, and deposits. This article says the regulation applies to all licensed banks in Rwanda, except development banks for major investments. Banks may buy or acquire immovable property only when reasonably necessary for business, must get Central Bank approval first, and must keep the total investment within 50% of core capital when the property is for business or employee amenities. A bank must get prior approval from the Central Bank before buying immovable property for business use.
