....tity is able to obtain the other currency within a time frame that allows for a normal administrative delay and through a market or exchange mechanism in which an exchange transaction would create enforceable rights and obligations." (ii) after paragraph 8, the following paragraphs shall be inserted, namely: - "Elaboration on the definitions Exchangeable (paragraphs A2-A10) 8A An entity assesses whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency: (a) at a measurement date; and (b) for a specified purpose. 8B If an entity is able to obtain no more than an insignificant amount of the other currency at the measurement date for the specified purpose, the currency is not exchangeable into the other currency." (iii) after paragraph 19, the following paragraph shall be inserted, namely: - "Estimating the spot exchange rate when a currency is not exchangeable (paragraphs A11-A17) "19A An entity shall estimate the spot exchange rate at a measurement date when a currency is not exchangeable into another currency (as described in paragraphs 8, 8A-8B and A2-A10) at that date. An entity's objective i....

....ntity shall, at the date of initial application: i. translate affected foreign currency monetary items, and non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency, using the estimated spot exchange rate at that date; and ii. recognise any effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. (b) when the entity uses a presentation currency other than its functional currency, or translates the results and financial position of a foreign operation, and, at the date of initial application, concludes that its functional currency (or the foreign operation's functional currency) is not exchangeable into its presentation currency or, if applicable, concludes that its presentation currency is not exchangeable into its functional currency (or the foreign operation's functional currency), the entity shall, at the date of initial application: i. translate affected assets and liabilities using the estimated spot exchange rate at that date; ii. translate affected equity items using the estimated spot exchange rate at that date if the entity's functional currency is hyperinflationary; and ....

.... PC, or exchange LC for another currency (FC) and then exchange FC for PC. Markets or exchange mechanisms A5 In assessing whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, an entity shall consider only markets or exchange mechanisms in which a transaction to exchange the currency for the other currency would create enforceable rights and obligations. Enforceability is a matter of law. Whether an exchange transaction in a market or exchange mechanism would create enforceable rights and obligations depends on facts and circumstances. Purpose of obtaining the other currency A6 Different exchange rates might be available for different uses of a currency. For example, a jurisdiction facing pressure on its balance of payments might wish to deter capital remittances (such as dividend payments) to other jurisdictions but encourage imports of specific goods from those jurisdictions. In such circumstances, the relevant authorities might: (a) set a preferential exchange rate for imports of those goods and a 'penalty' exchange rate for capital remittances to other jurisdictions, thus resulting in different exchange rates applying to differen....

....y it is able to obtain for a specified purpose by comparing that amount with the total amount of the other currency required for that purpose. For example, an entity with a functional currency of LC has liabilities denominated in currency FC. The entity assesses whether the total amount of FC it can obtain for the purpose of settling those liabilities is no more than an insignificant amount compared with the aggregated amount (the sum) of its liability balances denominated in FC. Step II: Estimating the spot exchange rate when a currency is not exchangeable (paragraph 19A) A11 This Standard does not specify how an entity estimates the spot exchange rate to meet the objective in paragraph 19A. An entity can use an observable exchange rate without adjustment (see paragraphs A12-A16) or another estimation technique (see paragraph A17). Using an observable exchange rate without adjustment A12 In estimating the spot exchange rate as required by paragraph 19A, an entity may use an observable exchange rate without adjustment if that observable exchange rate meets the objective in paragraph 19A. Examples of an observable exchange rate include: (....

....urpose might subsequently become exchangeable into that currency for that purpose. In such situations, an entity might conclude that the first subsequent exchange rate meets the objective in paragraph 19A. If the rate meets the objective in paragraph 19A, an entity may use that rate as the estimated spot exchange rate. A16 In assessing whether the first subsequent exchange rate meets the objective in paragraph 19A, an entity shall consider, among other factors: (a) the time between the measurement date and the date at which exchangeability is restored-the shorter this period, the more likely the first subsequent exchange rate will reflect the prevailing economic conditions. (b) inflation rates-when an economy is subject to high inflation, including when an economy is hyperinflationary (as specified in Ind AS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies), prices often change quickly, perhaps several times a day. Accordingly, the first subsequent exchange rate for a currency of such an economy might not reflect the prevailing economic conditions. Using another estimation technique A17 An entity using another estimation technique ....
