Capital and credit risk requirements

On 1 October 2021, we published the finalised bank capital adequacy requirements, outlined in the new Banking Prudential Requirements (BPR) documents. Documents with a version date after 1 July 2021 differ from those published in June 2021, mainly to correct formatting and incorporate minor technical changes.
