Foreword

The Central Bank of Kenya regulates the financial system and plays a supervisory role with regard to the management of the foreign exchange business. The Bank is also responsible for the preparation of the balance of payments among other objectives. One of the major concerns of the Central Bank is the accurate collection and timely submission of statistical information by the foreign exchange dealers without which the Bank cannot fulfil its objectives as laid down in the Central Bank of Kenya Act. These rules and guidelines have been developed in response to the numerous enquiries the Bank has been receiving from the authorised dealers and the public in general. The dealers should find the guidelines helpful as they touch on such pertinent issues as foreign exchange documentation requirements and submission of statistical data to the Bank.

The importance of the responsibility of all the foreign exchange dealers in our liberalised foreign exchange market cannot be overemphasised. The dealers should ensure that illegal financial transfers are avoided and appropriate money laundering policies put in place for the monitoring of such activities. EUNICE W. KAGANE DIRECTOR, FINANCIAL MARKETS 01-09-2002

1.0 Introduction 2.0 Regulations 2.2 Authorised Banks 2.3 Foreign Exchange Bureaus

1.1. These guidelines are issued by the Central Bank of Kenya with the aim of achieving orderly management of foreign exchange business within the financial market.

1.2. It may be noted that the responsibility of managing foreign exchange business was delegated to the authorised foreign exchange dealers following repeal of the Exchange Control Act effective December 27, 1995. The Central Bank is pleased to note that the dealers have performed this role efficiently in accordance with the Central Bank of Kenya Circular No. 12 dated August 19, 1996 and Forex Bureau Guidelines of November 11, 1996.

1.3. In managing foreign exchange business, foreign exchange dealers (authorised banks and forex bureaus) need to observe the following principles: (a) The maxim of Know your customer must be observed at all times. (b) Exercising caution to ensure that cross-border payments are not connected with illegal financial transactions and appropriate money laundering policies should be adopted by all the foreign exchange dealers.

(c) New products should be introduced in the market after consultations between the originating foreign exchange dealer and the Central Bank.

(d) The foreign exchange dealers (staff) must be fit and proper, that is, they must be officers with a high degree of honesty, integrity and reputation, competence and capability.

Regulations of foreign exchange dealings in Kenya are contained in Part VI A of the Central Bank of Kenya Act and Legal Notice No. 23 of 28th February, 1996 (Copies of which are obtainable from the Government Printer).

2.1 Foreign Exchange Dealers These are authorised banks and foreign exchange bureaus licensed by the Central Bank under section 33B of the Act. Authorised banks are licensed to buy, sell, borrow or lend in foreign currency or transact any other business involving foreign currency. Authorised dealers are also free to facilitate payments between Kenya residents and non-residents and engage in spot money market and derivative foreign exchange deals. Forex bureaus may engage in buying and selling foreign currency cash; buying travellers cheques; personal cheques; bankers drafts and bank transfers. A Forex bureau may also sell Travellers cheques but must seek and obtain prior approval from the Central Bank of Kenya. Forex bureaus are only allowed to engage in spot foreign exchange transactions and should not engage in derivative foreign exchange deals.

2.4 Persons Permitted To Transact Foreign Exchange Business 2.5 Currency Sales And Purchases 2.6 Counterfeits/Forged Currency Notes 2.7 Exchange Rate Display Board 2.8 Transactions 2.9 Market Manipulation

The permission is granted to any person who is licensed under the Tourist Industry Licensing Act to carry on any registered tourist enterprise; or owns or operates a Duty Free Shop; or, by the nature of his/her business requires to transact regularly in foreign currency. The foreign currency received should be dealt with as follows:- Credited to a foreign currency account Sold to an authorised dealer Used to settle external obligations through authorized banks Settle local debts billed in foreign currency Buying and selling of foreign currency is prohibited unless one of the parties to the transaction is an authorised dealer licensed under section 33(B) of the Central Bank of Kenya Act (Cap. 491). All foreign exchange dealers should have the necessary equipment to detect counterfeit currencies. The counterfeits presented by customers should be seized, the customer issued with evidencing receipt and counterfeit currencies delivered to the Central Bank of Kenya for investigation in consultation with the relevant authorities. Foreign exchange dealers must display their counter exchange rates prominently and in locations within their premises convenient to the public.

Kenya residents and non residents may: (a) Invoice for their goods and services in Kenya Shilling or foreign currency. (b) Possess foreign currency. (c) Sell foreign currency to and buy foreign currency from authorised dealers. (d) Export and import currency in accordance with the legal Notice No.118, contained in the Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 48 dated 4th September 1998.

It is encouraged that as much as possible, all foreign exchange transactions should be supported by the underlying commercial activity.
