Statute overview

About this statute

This provision states that the regulation’s purpose is to keep a bank’s foreign-exchange-loss risk within prudential limits. This article defines key foreign-exchange terms and prohibits banks from using transactions with related persons to bring their net open foreign-exchange position within the article’s limits. Banks must keep overall foreign exchange exposure within 20% of core capital and absorb any excess within two days. The central bank may revise the limit by directive. Banks are prohibited from transacting with their related parties when the purpose is to adjust their foreign exchange position, except on an arm’s length basis. Each bank must keep its single-currency foreign exchange exposure within +/- 20% of core capital, unless the Central Bank provides otherwise.
