On December 10, the Central Bank of Chile (BCCh, for its acronym in Spanish) issued an agreement adopted by the Board of the BCCh amending the International Exchange Regulations Compendium by introducing a new version of Chapter I. This  establishes the general framework for exchange policy regulations, and expands the number of currencies authorized for foreign securities transactions. 

The new regulations also empower the Bank’s General Manager to make all the necessary adjustments to the manual in order to implement the first stage in the exchange modernization process.
