C B Circular No.10/94  

To : All Commercial Bank and Bureaux de Change  

Dear Sirs  

## STATISTICS ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS  

Reference is made to Bank of Zambia C B Circular No. 4/94 concerning statistical data on foreign exchange transactions. We wish to advise that the forms on which this data is submitted to us, namely FX Purchases and FX Sales, have been revised to delete the provision for customer's name and to include a provision for the exchange rate at which the transaction was made as well as commercial bank's or bureaux de change's name. We have also listed separately the purposes for which foreign exchange is purchased and the sources from which foreign exchange is obtained. The forms being withdrawn lumped all these items together.  

Kindly find attached copies of the revised forms for your implementation with immediate effect.  

Yours faithfully  

G B MBULO
