CBE issues an update on its new rules on imports

The central bank issued updates to its response to importers’ inquiries on its rules requiring them to get letters of credit (L/Cs) for their purchases.

The updates appear to allow banks to transfer down payments for imported goods to foreign sellers while the importer awaits their L/Cs. The updates also clarify rules regarding buying and transacting from freezones and special economic zones.
