Foreign Exchange Reporting

Meaning

Foreign Exchange Reporting involves the mandatory disclosure of foreign currency transactions to regulatory authorities. This is typically done for purposes such as capital flow surveillance, balance of payments statistics, and anti-money laundering efforts. In the crypto sector, this specifically addresses the requirements for reporting conversions between fiat currencies and digital assets, or between different digital assets, particularly when such transactions involve cross-border elements or foreign exchange components. Its objective is to ensure financial transparency and combat illicit financial activities.
