Enhancing supervision in the banking sector: A review of the Draft Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 2024

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) plays a fundamental role in maintaining stability within Kenya’s banking sector. According to the Banking Act (Act), the CBK is empowered to make regulations for carrying out the purposes and provisions of the Act.

In exercising this power, the CBK recently published the Draft Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 2024 (Proposed Regulations) whose defining features are a marked departure from the Banking (Penalties) Regulations, 1999 (Existing Regulations) which they will be seeking to repeal.
