About this statute

This article says the regulation aims to liberalize the capital account and set rules for managing foreign exchange transactions. This article defines key terms used in the regulation, including licensed intermediaries, capital account operations, cash, resident and non-resident, foreign currency, foreign exchange business, spot exchange rate, foreign currency account, portfolio investment, and foreign currency auction. Only licensed intermediaries may carry out foreign exchange business, and they must follow specific Central Bank regulations. Non-licensed persons must ask the Central Bank for permission to deal in foreign currency, and foreign-currency receipts must be handled in specified ways. Licensed intermediaries may freely set spot exchange rates for buying and selling, but they must display those rates on a visible, easily accessible board and publish the same rates on their website.
