Material changes

The answers for Presenting the Bank in General Terms and Providing the Bank’s Annual Report and Press Reviews have changed from Grey/zone NO to Grey Zone for active onsite activity. This is believed to be more consistent with the answers for other sections and reflects the regulatory approach better. A bank will have to take a risk based decision as to whether to engage in such activity in Jordan.

The sections on consumer protection section and credit cards and Lombard credit contain more information on consumer protection in Jordan.

Non-material changes

Some comments and content have been slightly reworded (without introducing material changes) to reflect the regulatory situation/current interpretation of the regulatory framework more accurately.

 

Regulatory Summary

This document has now a more user-friendly layout and reflects the changes contained in the RT.
