/ world today news/ The tricks of the exchange offices put their existence as a business at stake. The Ministry of Finance is considering the possibility of legal changes that would increase the requirements for the activity of “change” bureaus to an extent that would seriously reduce the number of currency traders in our country.
This is done in response to attempts to mislead some exchange bureaus, accompanied by clever circumvention of the current laws, “Standard” learned from two independent sources. The decision on the legal amendments for the work of exchange bureaus will be at the political level, but for now the details are not clear, since the idea of tightening the regulations is at a very early stage, “Standard” learned. All this is brewing only a month after changes were adopted in the regulation on the activity of exchange bureaus, according to which their “buy” and “sell” rates should not differ by more than 5% from the BNB’s fixing. Until recently, exchange rates could differ by up to 20% from the official Central Bank fixing. The change was made in order to stop the cases of “change” bureaus giving misleading information on their boards and buying the euro at BGN 1.60-1.80. However, the shenanigans of the exchange offices did not stop.
