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 currencies 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.
