The prudential regulations of the Central Bank of Chile establish certain minimum requirements, so that the different entities subject to it carry out their activities in such a way that the risks inherent to their activity be under control, and thus the probability of their dissemination towards the other entities of the financial system be reduced.

In accordance with its legal mandate and the powers conferred on it by its Constitutional Organic Law as well as by other legal frameworks, the Central Bank of Chile dictates prudential regulations for:

I. Financial Market Infrastructures

II. Banking Institutions

III. Other Financial Market Entities

IV. Payment Card Issuers and Operators

These regulations are contained mainly in the Compendium of Financial Regulations

However, it must be borne in mind that the prudential regulations issued by the Central Bank of Chile are related to its legal mandate, and that compliance with them must be monitored by the Financial Market Commission.
