Risk-based capital adequacy is a minimum capital requirement for firms set by the BSEC. These requirements ensure that each financial institution has enough capital on hand to sustain operating losses while maintaining a safe and efficient market.
Earlier last week, the commission approved this system imposing some conditions for the stock exchanges to implement properly.
BSEC officials said all brokerage firms will come under the system by December 2021.
Merchant bankers, portfolio managers, asset managers, fund managers, credit rating companies also will come under this system gradually, they added.
The 80 brokerage firms will submit their reports online from next month. In the fourth quarter, 150 brokerage firms belonging to DSE and 60 others belonging to CSE will be included in the system.
