Policy Formulation Process/_catalogs/masterpage/img/collapse.png

​​ ​​The BOT has a clear and transparent process for formulating financial institution policies and prudential regulations. The process includes rational analytical studies, necessity, advantages, drawbacks, international standards, practices of neighboring country, and impacts on the financial institutions system.  In addition, industry hearings are held regularly and policies are also subject to scrutiny by the Financial Institutions Policy Committee (FIPC)

After issuance of policy and regulation, the BOT periodically monitors and revises them to ensure that they are still appropriate, practical, and effective, as well as do not pose an unnecessary burden for financial institutions.  BOT notifications and circulars are made publicly available in the Royal Gazette and the BOT website. ​
