At the request of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), the Monetary and Capital Markets (MCM) Department conducted a virtual mission from May 3 to June 10, 2022 to assist the RBZ on strengthening consolidated supervision framework. The main focus was to support the RBZ in updating the RBZ consolidated supervision framework, enhancing prudential reporting on a consolidated basis, strengthening the assessment of banking group’s risks, and intensifying cross-border and interagency cooperation.
As a follow-up to the 2019 FSSR, a remote TA mission supported the RBZ with the implementation of Basel III liquidity standards. The mission reviewed the RBZ drafts of the LCR and NSFR frameworks, discussed identified material gaps with the BSD management and relevant supervisors, and provided many recommendations on enhancing the drafts of liquidity regulations, monitoring tools, reporting templates, and disclosure. Further actions for implementing Basel III liquidity standards were agreed with the RBZ.
