Malaysia
implements selective exchange control policies
introduced since 1st of September 1998, albeit
with some major modifications to enhance effectiveness
and overcome administrative difficulties.
The
exchange control policies of Malaysia are applied
uniformly to transactions with all countries
except Israel and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(Serbia and Montenegro) for which special restrictions
apply. The exchange control policies, in general,
are aimed at monitoring the settlement of payments
and receipts as well as encouraging the use
of the country's financial resources for productive
purposes in Malaysia. For monitoring and compilation
of balance of payments statistics, residents
are required to complete statistical forms,
Form P or Form R, for each payment and receipt
of more than RM10,000 vis-a-vis non-residents.
The
Malaysian Ringgit currently is fixed against
the US Dollar at RM3.80 to $1.00 US Dollar.
All other currencies are based against the US
Dollar which eventually leads to a stable currency
exchange. All prices are quoted in Malaysian
Ringgit at Sebana Cove (unless otherwise stated).
*Please
note that the exchange rates are subject to
change.
