Exchange Rates

In terms of section 25 (2) of the Reserve Bank of New
Zealand Act 1964, the Reserve Bank today released outer
limits for rates of exchange to be used in transactions involving
the conversion of New Zealand currency into foreign curren-
cies and foreign currencies into New Zealand currency when
delivery of the foreign currency dealt in will be effected by
telegraphic transfer. The following range of rates, for the main
currencies used by New Zealand traders in settling foreign
exchange transactions, will remain in force until replaced by
a new schedule issued by the Reserve Bank. These rates do
not apply to transactions for settlement after the expiration
of two business days (forward transactions) or to transactions
in which instruments are purchased which do not entitle the
buyer to foreign currency balances in the foreign centre until
the instruments have been delivered at the foreign centre. In
the latter case interest at foreign centre rates may be deducted
from the telegraphic transfer rate to compensate the purchaser
for his loss during the transit period.
