Joint IFSB-IMF/CEF Course on Basel and IFSB Core Principle
Course Description: This programme is designed to enhance the capacity of RSAs in deepening the participants’ understanding of the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision (BCP), as the foundational benchmark for sound supervision, complemented with the IFSB Core Principles for Islamic Finance Regulation (Banking Segment) (CPIFR) to address the unique risk characteristics of Islamic finance. Focusing on assessing the financial system stability and ensuring compliance with the international standards, the course leverages the complementarity and close interlinkages between these frameworks. Through a combination of expert‑led sessions, case studies, group work, and guided discussions, participants will engage in practical, scenario‑based exercises that replicate real‑world supervisory challenges. The training approach prioritizes hands‑on application to strengthen participants’ ability to assess risks, identify supervisory gaps, and formulate appropriate regulatory responses. Qualifications: Participants should be mid- to senior-level officers from banking regulatory and supervisory authorities (RSAs), with at least five years of relevant experience in banking regulation, supervision, examination, risk management, or financial sector surveillance. Familiarity with the BCP is required, while knowledge of the IFSB CPIFR is highly recommended.
