  1. Introduction Considering that under Law No. 24/21, of October 18, Law of the Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA), it is BNA's responsibility to guarantee and ensure a system of information, compilation, and processing of monetary, financial, and foreign exchange statistics, as well as the preparation of the country's external balance of payments; Considering also the need to improve the quality of information provided within foreign exchange operations statistics produced in the country, as a basic tool in decision-making processes, the Banco Nacional de Angola developed the Foreign Exchange Operations Classification Table, intended to support its users, especially authorized Banking Financial Institutions operating in the foreign exchange market, their clients, and the general public, aiming to correctly classify the foreign exchange operations they carry out, making it a mandatory reference instrument for framing and registering said foreign exchange operations. This document also seeks to standardize the classification of operations for registration purposes and serve as an aid in compiling Balance of Payments statistics. The document consists of the Classification Table, Description of Classification Categories, and Glossary. The Classification Table presents a list of seven main categories of foreign exchange operations, namely: Goods, Services, Primary Income (Income), Secondary Income (Current Transfers), Capital Account, and Financial Account, as well as the list of accounts comprising each category. The Description of Classification Categories contains definitions of classification categories and their respective accounts. Finally, a Glossary is presented, containing an alphabetical list of terms related to this domain, along with their respective definitions.
