The Committee on Public Finance (COPF) has approved Foreign Exchange Regulations Nos. 01 and 02 of 2026 and an Order issued under Section 22 of the Foreign Exchange Act, following discussions with Central Bank officials.

The committee discussed foreign investments, overseas transfers by emigrants and measures to control foreign exchange outflows.

It also considered temporary restrictions on foreign exchange outflows and the possibility of gradually relaxing them as economic conditions improve.

Officials stated that a USD 0.75 million limit would apply for around six months to overseas expansion by listed companies, with consideration to relax the limit in 2027. The corresponding limit for non-listed companies is USD 0.2 million.
