15:19 - 3.07.2025


July 3, Fineko/abc.az. The Board of the Central Bank (CBA) has amended the Rules for Managing Liquidity Risk in Banks, approved by a resolution dated October 18, 2023.

ABC.AZ reports that in this regard, CBA governor Taleh Kazimov signed a new decree.

According to the resolution, in a bank with liquidity coverage ratio of less than 100% in aggregate and separately in the national currency, the instant liquidity ratio should not be lower than 30%. Until now, foreign currency has been taken into account when calculating this coefficient.

If the bank fails to comply with the required limit of the liquidity coverage ratio for 5 consecutive days, the action plan for restoring the liquid position must be submitted to the CBA within the next 5 business days. The plan should cover a period of no more than 45 days, starting from the date of non-compliance with the limits set by these Rules for the liquidity coverage ratio.
