4. Calculation, Compliance and Exigibility
   4.1. The calculation of Mandatory Reserves is carried out on a monthly average basis.
   4.2. The compliance of Mandatory Reserves in NC calculated in accordance with the previous paragraph is done on a five-week period average basis, following the calendar previously published by the Bank of Angola.
   4.3. The compliance of Mandatory Reserves in FC calculated in accordance with the previous paragraph is done on a daily basis.
   4.4. The incidence base defined in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 is subject to Mandatory Reserve coefficients, as established in specific regulations.
   4.5. The exigibility for the incidence base in national currency (NC), subject to the Mandatory Reserve coefficient, as established in specific regulations, is calculated, on a monthly average basis on the arithmetic mean of the balances determined in the respective accounts on all days of the period, following the following formula:
   ETn = crn {∑ [Dtn (T-2)]/N}
   Where:

• ETn = exigibility of period T in NC as established in specific regulations on the incidence base, excluding accounts of the Central Government, Local Governments and Municipal Administrations;
• crn = Mandatory Reserve coefficient as established in specific regulations;
• T = T-th calendar period in which the compliance of Mandatory Reserves occurs, (T=1, 2, 3,...,n);
• T-2= T-th calendar period in which the final daily credit balances are constituted, recorded in the incidence base accounts referred to in paragraph 3.2, excepting accounts of the Central Government and Local Governments and Municipal Administrations, (T-1=-n, 1, 2, ..., n-1);
• Dtn (T-2) = final daily credit balances recorded in the incidence base accounts referred to in paragraph 2, excepting accounts of the Central Government and Local Governments and Municipal Administrations;
• N = number of business days of period T-2.
  4.6. The exigibility for the incidence base in foreign currency (FC), subject to the coefficient, as established in specific regulations, is calculated on a monthly average basis on the arithmetic mean of the balances determined in the respective accounts on the days of the period, following the following formula:
  ETe=cre{∑[Dte(T-2)]/N}
  Where:
• ETe = exigibility of period T in FC on the incidence base, as established in specific regulations, excluding accounts of the Central Government, Local Governments and Municipal Administrations;
• cre = Mandatory Reserve coefficient as established in specific regulations;
• T = T-th calendar period in which the calculation of Mandatory Reserves occurs, (T=1, 2, 3, ..., n);
• T- 2 = T-th calendar period in which the final daily credit balances are constituted, recorded in the incidence base accounts referred to in paragraph 3, (T-2= -n, 1, 2, ..., n-1);
• Dte (T-2) = final daily credit balances, recorded in the incidence base accounts referred to in paragraph 3.3;
• N = number of business days of period T-2.
  4.7. For the calculation of Mandatory Reserves, all business days of the period are considered, and for the compliance of Mandatory Reserves, all days of the period are considered.
  4.8. Credit rights may be deducted from the exigibility in NC, calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.2, as per specific regulations.
  4.9. The effective value of the reserves to be considered for the compliance of exigibility in NC is equal to the sum of the daily balances of the accounts of Local Governments and Municipal Administrations and the amount referred to in paragraph 3.2, weighted according to coefficients established in specific regulations, minus the amounts established in paragraph 4.8, according to the following formula:
  ROdn = ∑[(GLTn) +ETn – DCTn(T-1) 1)]
  Where:
• ROdn = Effective Mandatory Reserves in NC to be considered for the compliance of exigibility on day d;
• GLTn = Monthly average of accounts of Local Governments and Municipal Administrations in NC in T-2, weighted according to specific regulations;
• ETn = exigibility in period T in NC, corresponding to the coefficient established in specific regulations on the incidence base, as referred to in paragraph 4.9;
• DCTn = value corresponding to credit rights, as per specific regulations;
• d = day of the compliance period (T).
  4.10. The effective value of the reserves to be considered for the compliance of exigibility in FC is equal to the sum of the balances of the accounts of Local Governments and Municipal Administrations and the amount referred to in paragraph 3.3, weighted according to coefficients established in specific regulations, according to the following formula:
  ROde = ∑[GLde+ ETe]
  Where:
• ROde = Effective Mandatory Reserves in FC to be considered for the compliance of exigibility on day d;
• GLde = daily balances of accounts of Local Governments and Municipal Administrations in FC on day d, weighted according to specific regulations;
• ETe = exigibility in period T in FC, corresponding to the coefficient established in specific regulations on the incidence base, as referred to in paragraph 4.9;
• d = day of the compliance period (T).
