Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is committed in ensuring the FEP continues to create a conducive regulatory environment to enhance the competitiveness of the economy. Financial institutions play an important role in ensuring compliance with FEP to ensure the effectiveness of the policy. In this regard, banking officers must have a comprehensive understanding to ensure compliance on FEP and strive to adopt market standards in undertaking their due diligence.

This intermediate level training programme is jointly developed by the Foreign Exchange Policy Department of BNM and Asian Banking School (ABS), which aims to educate participants on FEP particularly on the guiding principles, interpretation of terms and key rules of FEP. This interactive programme encompasses two parts, (1) a brief session of the key terms and rules in the respective notices of FEP and (2) group discussion on case scenarios specific to each FEP Notices, facilitated by experts from the FEP Department of BNM. This session will allow participants to directly interact with the trainers and speakers who are highly proficient in the FEP. Moreover, a Head of Treasurer from an onshore bank will be invited to provide industry’s perspective of FEP. Additionally, participants will engage in a group discussion on ‘comprehensive case studies’ to enhance their learning of the applications of FEP.

Upon completion of this programme, participants will be recognised as a point of reference at their banking institution in dealing with matters related to FEP.
