Developing Regulatory Framework for Dealing with Domestic Systemically Important Banks (May 10-14)
METAC supported the Bank of Algeria in developing a regulatory framework for the identification of Domestic Systemically Important Banks and the application of additional prudential requirements to these banks. The mission forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen risk-based supervision and align the Algerian regulatory framework with Basel Committee standards under Basel III. It resulted in (i) a draft regulation for identifying systemically important institutions and (ii) a complementary instruction outlining a transparent and methodological approach to calculating systemic importance scores for Algerian banks.

It aimed at strengthening supervisory capacity by presenting PSP business models, associated risks, and supervisory approaches, while laying the foundations for the development of supervisory methodologies and tools.
