Abstract:CBK paper proposing to revise outdated bank licence fees. It explains that current branch-based fees (unchanged since 1990) no longer reflect sector growth (assets grew ~38× since 1994). The review seeks to align fees with international norms and bank risk profiles, transitioning to a more equitable, revenue- or capital-based fee framework.
