Financial intermediation Monetary policy operations to smoothen the foreign exchange and domestic money market Processing and recording Pre-financing deals Foreign borrowing is still a controlled item in Malawi. This is to ensure correct balance of payment statistics and enable proper planning for foreign obligation Procurement of major imports (fuel, fertilisers) which have strong impact on the tobacco industry

HANDLING OF EXPORTS FROM MALAWI All export consignments have to be declared in one way or another Through MRA Form 38 on all exports below US$5, Through RBM managed foreign exchange statistical database system (FESDS) for all other exports Exporters are required to repatriate to Malawi all export proceeds within 180 days from the date the consignment was discharged by MRA

REASONS FOR EXPORT DECLARATION Basis for collecting and compiling accurate export statistics necessary for BoP purpose. This is crucial in any international trade For assessing and determining industry worth. To get to a ratio of 15% as contribution to GDP, there must be an accurate assessment of the sector vis-à-vis the entire economy. Essential contribution to monetary policy formulation

WHY USE FESDS – Background and Rationale The Foreign Exchange Statistical Database System (FESDS) is web based foreign exchange processing facility introduced in Malawi to mainly remove inefficiencies relating to manual processing of exports Became operational on 28 October, Designed to introduce efficiency in exports declaration and proceeds tracking. Ensures export proceeds repatriation and credible foreign exchange statistics
