Notice No. 4/GBM/2025, of August 1 – Exceptional Regime for Foreign Exchange Position Limits
The Bank of Mozambique issued Notice No. 4/GBM/2025 to exceptionally update prudential ratios and limits for credit institutions, aligning them with national economic dynamics. The regulation mandates that supervised banks maintain daily foreign exchange positions within revised thresholds, specifically capping global long and short exposures at 2% and 20% of own funds, while limiting per-currency long and short positions to 1% and 10%. This exceptional regime remains effective for 365 days from publication, with non-compliance constituting a punishable administrative offence under existing credit institution law.
