  • The Selection and Remuneration Committee consists of a minimum of three non-executive Directors, the majority of which (including the Committee chairman) are independent.
  • The Committee determines whether a Director is ‘independent’ based on the minimum standards for independence set out in this Code.
  • It is responsible for providing background briefing material for Directors as requested, as well as ensuring that they are kept up to date on relevant banking topics. The Bank encourages Directors to attend seminars and events that allow them meet local and international organizations, entities and companies.
  • The Selection and Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board the remuneration (including monthly salary and other benefits) of the General Manager. It also reviews the remuneration (including salaries) of other members of the executive management.
  • The Committee ensures that the Bank has a remuneration policy, which is sufficient to attract and retain qualified individuals, and is in line with the Bank’s peers in the market.
  • A summary of the Bank’s remuneration policy is disclosed in the Annual Report. In particular, the remuneration of individual Directors and the highest paid non-Director executives is disclosed, including salary and benefits in kind.
  • Nothing prevents the Selection and Remuneration Committee from nominating members of the Board for a new term according to the Companies Law, taking into consideration their attendance, quality and extent of their participation in the Board meetings. In accordance with the Companies Law, the tenure of the Board expires every four years from the date of election, and each Director may submit himself/herself for re-election at the Annual General Assembly.
