This term is used to describe the adequacy of the Bank's aggregate capital in relation to the risks which arise from its assets and its off-balance sheet transactions, its dealing operations and its human activities, technology and natural incidents. Central Bank of Sri Lanka has prescribed the minimum risk sensitive capital, and effective from 1 January 2008 required the Bank to compute the minimum capital in accordance with the ‘International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards - a Revised Framework’(Basel II). The aim is to ensure minimum capital, commensurate with risks assumed by the Bank, is maintained as a buffer to absorb foreseeable future credit, market and operational losses.

Basis of Computation

The risks weights assigned to the On and Off-Balance Sheet assets and the composition of capital are prescribed by Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
