Overview

The Foreign Exchange Policy (FE Policy) is part of the broad prudential toolkits that generally aim to preserve Malaysia’s monetary and financial stability.
The policy has become a ‘compliance-focused area’ among financial institutions in Malaysia and bank officers should have comprehensive understanding of the policy to ensure reasonable compliance and adopt market standards in the due diligence process.

This two-day programme will explain the rules within the FE Policy and how they are being applied in banking transactions. All 7 Notices in the policy will be covered including the Directions to Financial Institutions and Minimum Due Diligence. Quizzes and case studies will also be incorporated to reinforce the learning.
