Revisions to Regulatory Handbook & Enforcement Manual

The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”) has revised both its Regulatory Handbook and Enforcement Manual, effective upon Gazettement on 27 June 2025.

Volume 1 – The Regulatory Handbook outlines the policies and procedures to be followed by the Authority, its committees, and officers in the discharge of CIMA’s regulatory and co-operative functions. The recent amendments primarily enhance provisions related to external membership and stakeholder engagement.

Volume 2 – The Enforcement Manual, which should be read in conjunction with Volume 1, establishes the framework governing CIMA’s enforcement regime in instances of non-compliance with the Regulatory Acts by Authorised Persons. The revised manual consolidates procedures concerning Enforcement Actions, Administrative Fines, Publication, and Lost Contact.
