Guideline No. 7/94: Exchange Rate Policy – Floating Rate Regime – Merchandise Operations
The Banco Nacional de Angola issues Guideline No. 7/94 to regulate foreign exchange operations for merchandise imports under the floating rate regime. The directive mandates that importers present valid registration proofs and proforma invoices to operating financial institutions, which must verify currency coverage, report transaction details within 48 hours, and enforce a 30-day compliance window for import documentation. Additionally, it relieves importers of the 72-hour proof-of-entry obligation while imposing reverse-exchange penalties and position adjustments for failure to meet reporting deadlines.
