The Central Bank has informed me that the number of staff in the Registry of Credit Unions is currently 52, allocated across the following activities:

- Supervision

- Intervention & Restructuring

- Policy Framework / Regulatory Approvals

- Business Model Engagement

- Operations

The majority of staff are engaged in supervision and intervention and restructuring activities.

In 2012 there were 48 staff allocated across the following areas:

- Supervision

- Intervention & Restructuring

- Policy Framework

- Financial Analysis

- Operations

A dedicated Business Model Engagement unit was established in 2016, to engage on business model development from a regulatory perspective.

Since 2019, the Financial Analysis function has been relocated within the Central Bank’s Risk Analysis, Data Analytics & Reporting Division.
