The regulation mandates daily reporting of these positions and sets specific caps, such as 15% for individual currencies and 20% for the total aggregate position, relative to the bank's net total capital. Non-compliance triggers financial penalties, potential license revocation for systemic violations, and requires immediate notification and remediation plans from bank management.
