THE BANGKO Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has approved amendments to the reporting guidelines for foreign exchange (FX) transactions, including the imposition of fines up to P1 million for policy violations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Monetary Board has approved further amendments to FX regulations to allow the BSP to gather more accurate and relevant information on FX transactions to promote and maintain price stability and ensure financial stability and effective supervision of banks,\u201d it said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

This comes after weeks of volatility in the foreign exchange markets, which saw the peso drop to a 20-month low in May.\u00a0 <\/span>The peso closed at P58.295 per dollar on Wednesday, strengthening by nine centavos from its P58.385 close on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Monetary Board in its Resolution No. 764 approved revisions to the Manual of Regulations on Foreign Exchange Transactions, according to a circular.<\/p>\n

One of the main amendments is the imposition of a maximum penalty for violations by authorized agent banks (AAB), AAB forex companies, offshore banking units (OBU), representative offices and their directors, trustees, o<\/span>ff<\/span>icers and employees (DTOE), pursuant to the amended New Central Bank Act. <\/span><\/p>\n

The BSP can impose a \u201cmaximum monetary penalty of P1 million for each transactional violation or P100,000 per calendar day for violations of a continuing nature.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

It defines a transactional violation as an \u201cact or omission constituting violation of any applicable law, or any order, instruction\/directive or regulation issued by the Monetary Board (MB), or any order, instruction\/directive or ruling by the governor which is consummated and concluded in a single instance\/occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a continuing violation is one that \u201cpersists or lingers over time from the instant the <\/span>particular act was committed or omitted until the violation is stopped.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure fairness, consistency and reasonableness in the imposition of monetary or nonmonetary penalties, the BSP takes into consideration the attendant circumstances of each case, such as the nature and gravity of the violation or irregularity, the size of the financial institution and other aggravating and mitigating factors,\u201d according to the circular. <\/span><\/p>\n

The BSP also included definitions of reports that are not compliant with reporting standards, such as delayed, erroneous and unsubmitted reports.<\/p>\n

The revised rules also provide clear penalties for violations of reporting standards. Monetary penalties for reporting violations on primary reports range from P300 for representative offices to P3,000 for universal, commercial or Islamic banks.<\/p>\n

For instance, the penalty for a delayed report will be computed by multiplying the fine by the number of calendar days delayed.<\/p>\n

The revised rules also include the notification process of concerned BSP-supervised financial institutions (BSFI) on their policy violation, as well as appeals and requests for reconsideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amended guidelines will facilitate timely submission of reports by banks in accordance with the BSP\u2019s reporting standards and instill accountability among BSFIs and\/or their DTOEs,\u201d the central bank said.<\/p>\n

Reports submitted to the BSP must be \u201ccomplete, accurate, consistent, reliable and timely\u201d to be compliant with its reporting standards. It must also conform to the relevant submission and validation guidelines. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese regulations will likewise enable the BSP to efficiently generate reports being used for policy studies and monitoring of the economy and financial system, among others,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Ruben Carlo O. Asuncion, chief economist at Union Bank of the Philippines, Inc., said the amended rules would help the central bank achieve stability in the foreign exchange markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is good in general to achieve the BSP\u2019s goal of FX stability and the prevention of unnecessary volatility in FX markets. The eventual compliance of banks will be advantageous for the industry,\u201d he said in a Viber message.<\/p>\n

In April, the Monetary Board approved amendments to the Manual of Regulations on Foreign Exchange Transactions to better facilitate access to FX resources of authorized agent banks or their units for <\/span>legitimate transactions and streamline documentary requirements, procedures and reporting. \u2014 Luisa Maria Jacinta C.
