Algeria Validates Draft Prudential Rules for Banks and Financial Institutions

On 5 November, Algeria’s Monetary and Banking Council validated draft prudential regulations covering bank solvency ratios, large exposures, equity holdings and the classification and provisioning of receivables. The council also reviewed the bank deposit-guarantee contribution rate. No new deposit rate or implementation fee was disclosed. The regulatory developments create opportunities for banking consultants, risk-management specialists, compliance advisers and financial technology providers.
