The Central Bank, aimed at further improving the standard of business conduct and good market practices for the effective and efficient functioning of the foreign exchange trading activities in Sri Lanka, has issued the Banking Act Direction No. 1 of 2012 on foreign exchange trading activities of licensed commercial banks.

The direction has been prepared after a consultative process with the respective stakeholders and considering the international best practices, the Bank said. It said the direction broadly covers the market practices, internal policies and procedures, ethics and standards to be practiced in conducting foreign exchange trading activities. “This direction will be of significant importance and value since the smooth and efficient functioning of a foreign exchange market depends on the orderly conduct of foreign exchange trading activities with high professional standards.

Further, as the market grows in size, diversity and complexity, the demand for uniform practices increases correspondingly,” the CB statement said.
