Section 76

SEC. 76. Exchange rates.—The Monetary Board shall determine the rates at which the Central Bank shall buy and sell spot exchange, but said rates shall not differ by more than one-half of one per cent from the legal parities established in section 50, unless in any given case a greater divergence from the legal parity exists in foreign markets. The Central Bank shall not collect any additional commissions or charges of any sort, other than actual telegraphic or cable costs incurred by it. The Monetary Board shall similarly determine the rates for other types of foreign exchange transactions by the Central Bank, including purchases and sales of foreign notes and, coins, but the margins between the legal parities and the rates thus established may not exceed the corresponding margins for spot exchange transactions by more than the additional costs or expenses involved in each type of transaction.
