Statement from the 42nd meeting of the bank board of the NBS

The 42nd Meeting of the Bank Board of Narodna banka Slovenska was held on 7 October 2008, chaired by Ivan Sramko, Governor.

The Bank Board of the NBS discussed the document “The foreign exchange list of selected foreign currencies and specification of its publication.”

The foreign exchange list of selected foreign currencies will be regularly published by the NBS as at the first working day of the current month. The first foreign exchange list of selected foreign currencies will be exceptionally effective as of 1 January 2009. The Bank Board decided that, effective from 1 January 2009, the NBS will use an indirect quotation in publication of the foreign exchange list of selected foreign currencies which will reflect how much foreign currency would be paid for domestic currency. An indirect quotation will be used also in publication of the daily foreign exchange list.
