However, contemporary developments have since made the existing provisions of the manual inadequate, resulting in the need to update the document.
Consequently, changes introduced in this r evised Foreign Exchange Manual are intended to streamline documentation requirements, enhance transparency of transactions and engender compliance by stakeholders.
In view of the above, the provisions of the revised Foreign Exchange Manual shall take effect from August 1, 2018.
