Developing Regulation on Liquidity Risk Management (June 8-26)
The mission supported the Central Bank of Tunisia (CBT) in strengthening its liquidity risk regulatory framework as part of its broader Basel III reform agenda. While Tunisia has implemented the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) since 2015 and requires a minimum ratio of 100 percent since 2019, further reforms remain necessary to align the framework with Basel standards. The mission focused on three objectives: (i) developing a qualitative liquidity risk regulation based on Basel principles, (ii) advancing the review of the Tunisian LCR framework against Basel standards, and (iii) preparing a Quantitative Impact Study (QIS) template to support future regulatory revision. To this end, a comprehensive qualitative liquidity regulation was developed, and an LCR QIS tool was refined to assess the impact of future regulatory changes on the banking system.
