INTRODUCTION
Over the last three years, EMTA, either alone or in partnership with other industry
organizations, has addressed the need for updated or new NDF documentation for ten
currency pairs 1 . With the August 1, 2006, introduction of the EMTA Template Terms for
CLP/USD, COP/USD and PEN/USD, standardized terms for all of the major currencies
that settle against the U.S. Dollar have been addressed. Notwithstanding, as markets
continually evolve, there likely will be a need in the future to address documentation for
other currencies with markets that gain liquidity or momentum, or that settle against a
non-dollar currency, and EMTA is prepared to turn its focus to those markets in a timely
fashion.
In developing standardized terms for non-deliverable FX transactions for the Chilean
Peso, the Colombian Peso and the Peruvian Sol (individually, the CLP Template, the
COP Template and the PEN Template, and collectively the 2006 Templates),
EMTA has been mindlful of the principles that have been carefully carved out by the
industry in an effort to promote documentation and settlement certainty, and to mitigate
concern over long-term market disruption. As always, these interests have been
carefully balanced with the circumstances of the local market and the interests of the
EMTA membership.
A brief overview of the standard terms for these three currencies shows the inclusion of
a 30-day deferral/valuation postponement, Price Source Disruption as the sole
Disruption Event and a fall-back survey mechanism to be activated in times of long-term
market disruption. In the case of these three templates, a decision was made to adopt
a relatively abbreviated list of disruption events and fallbacks based on an assessment
of the size and liquidity of the individual local markets, the stability of the primary rate
quote source in each market and the relatively low level of concern regarding market
manipulation issues in these three markets, as well as the administrative burden to
EMTA of building and maintaining a more elaborately tiered system.
The
documentation is reviewed in detail below.
Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used herein are used as defined in the 1998 FX
and Currency Option Definitions (the 1998 Definitions).

TEMPLATE TERMS FOR CLP, COP AND PEN NON-DELIVERABLE FX

TRANSACTIONS
A.
The Primary Settlement Rate Options
Discussions regarding the Settlement Rate Options for these three currencies were
among the liveliest held by the working group and continued for many months. The
working group initially determined to examine whether the current market practice in
respect of each of these currencies for the primary settlement rate option should remain
1

MYR/USD, PHP/USD, RUB/USD and TWD/USD.

the same or should be changed. Current market practice at the time for the Chilean
Peso and the Colombian Peso was to look to an officially sponsored rate source for the
spot rate quotation as a valuation mechanism. The question was raised by the working
group of whether EMTA should explore an alternate industry or market-based rate
quotation source in lieu of an official source as the primary settlement rate option for
these currencies. Discussion was held regarding the stability of the quoting source for
each market, the vulnerability of each market to manipulation and the feasibility of
introducing a new, more market-based rate source quotation into current market
practice. Strong viewpoints were expressed by several traders in the working group
that, for these markets, the current market practice of looking to the official rate quote
was desirable, particularly in light of local market considerations; ultimately this
viewpoint prevailed and the documents were drafted accordingly. However, the working
group left open the possibility of returning to this issue in the future.
In the case of the Chilean Peso market, prevailing market practice then was to refer to
CLP04 as the primary settlement rate option. 2
CLP04 describes the Dollar
Observado rate quoted by the Banco Central de Chile. The ultimate determination was
to maintain current market practice, but to add a new rate source definition to Annex A
to describe this same rate. See the discussion of new CLP10 below in Section III.
In the case of the Colombian Peso, prevailing market practice was to fix contracts at
what is referred to as the TCRM rate which is quoted by the Colombian Financial
Superintendency (previously, the Colombian Banking Superintendency).
Market
participants, however, variously cited either COP01 or COP02 of Annex A to identify
this as the primary settlement rate option and so market practice in this regard was
mildly unsettled, at least at a documentation level. A determination was made to
confirm current market practiced of fixing on the TCRM rate but to recommend a
uniform reference in contracts to COP02, and to update the definition for this rate found
in Annex A. Thus, COP02 was amended in several respects and a more extended
discussion of these amendments can be found in Section III below.
In the Peruvian Sol market, the smallest and most illiquid of the three markets,
prevailing market practice had been to value contracts based upon a spot rate quotation
derived from the interbank market (see PEN01 and PEN02). Based upon concerns
regarding the vulnerability of this interbank rate quote to manipulation and a desire to
foster consistent practices across these three markets, a decision ultimately was made
by the working group to recommend a change in the primary settlement rate option for
PEN/USD non-deliverable FX transactions from PEN01 or PEN02 to a new rate,
PEN03, which involved preparing an entirely new rate source definition for inclusion in
Annex A. See Section III below for more detail on the rate source definition. The new
rate source definition describes an end of day, weighted average rate instead of a spot
rate as described in PEN01 and PEN02. This was felt by the working group to a more
stable, transparent rate, less subject to manipulation given the thinness of the New Sol
market and similar in methodology, broadly speaking, to the rate quotes for the Chilean
2

addressing this.
peso and the Colombian Peso, both of which involve a methodology that produces
some kind of average rate.
B.
Incorporating the Updated Definition of Settlement Date.
In May of 2006, EMTA recommended to its members that the definition of Settlement
Date that was found in all of the EMTA Template terms (including the 2004 Asian
Currency Template Terms co-sponsored by EMTA with the FXC and the SFEMC) be
amended to clarify the mechanics of the contract regarding an adjustment of the
Settlement Date following an adjustment to the Valuation Date. See EMTA FX and
Currency Derivatives Market Practice No. 39 dated May 17, 2006 3 . In accordance with
this Market Practice, each of the 2006 Templates includes this updated language.
C.
Price Source Disruption as the Only Disruption Event.
The only Disruption Event currently included is Price Source Disruption. This is in
contrast to the EMTA Template Terms for BRL/USD Non-Deliverable FX Transactions
where Price Materiality was included as a Price Source Disruption, but is similar to the
2004 Asian Currency Template Terms where it was not. The Template Terms for
ARS/USD and RUB/USD Non-Deliverable FX Transactions also do NOT include Price
Materiality, however, that is specifically because the primary settlement rate option in
each of those markets is an industry rate quote and not an official quote and so, the
concern regarding official intervention in the primary rate source does not exist for those
regions. While many traders felt that the appropriate course of action from the
perspective of documentary consistency and risk issues was to include Price Materiality
as a Disruption Event and to develop the necessary infrastructure, as a practical matter,
it was difficult to develop group consensus on the design of an appropriate architecture
for this infrastructure. Ultimately, it was determined that, given the relative small size of
these markets, the relative stability of at least the Chilean Peso and Colombian Peso
markets, and the time and effort it would require to produce a secondary rate source, it
was more important to finalize the 2006 Templates with an abbreviated waterfall of
Disruption Events in order to advance the important market interests of reducing
settlement and documentation risks and addressing the risk of long-term market
disruption for these markets, if on a slightly more abbreviated level than in Brazil.
D.
Valuation Postponement as the first Disruption Fallback.
The first Disruption Fallback is a Valuation Postponement period of 30 calendar days.

This follows EMTAs FX and Currency Derivatives Market Practice No. 32 dated June
23, 2003. Although the 2004 Asian Currency Templates incorporate a shorter period of
14 (plus three) days and Russia increased its market practice to 14 days (from eight) in
the summer of 2005, 30 calendar days is now consistent market practice for Latin
America.
Formerly referred to as NDF Market Practices this nomenclature was changed in late 2005 to
reflect the evolving and expanding nature of the FX markets for emerging market currencies.
E.
Fallback Reference Price (an EMTA Indicative Survey Rate) as the next
succeeding Disruption Fallback.
For each of the CLP Template, the COP Template and the PEN Template, a Disruption
Fallback involving a rate quotation produced through a market survey sponsored by
EMTA has been added to the architecture. This follows the model adopted in 2003 for
ARS/USD Template Terms and has been included in every succeeding EMTA or EMTA
co-sponsored template terms. This mechanism was designed to provide the market
with a rate quotation that can function for long periods of time even in times of
significant market dislocation or illiquidity. As noted above, notwithstanding the Brazil
model, a determination was made to default directly to an Indicative Survey as a backup rate quotation mechanism directly following the lapse of a 30-day deferral or
valuation postponement period, based upon an assessment of the size of the market for
each of these markets, the nature of the local market and the administrative cost to
EMTA of building and maintaining a more complex infrastructure.
F.
Calculation Agent Determination as the final Disruption Fallback.
Calculation Agent Determination is retained as the final Disruption Fallback in

recognition of the fact that once market-oriented options for objective rate quotation
sources have been exhausted, and the markets have all but ceased to function, parties
to any outstanding contracts at that time will still need to value and close out their
remaining transactions. In these limited circumstances, reliance on Calculation Agent
Determination does not present the concern regarding systemic basis risk to the market
that fueled the overhaul of the EMTA Templates that began in 2002 with the ARS
Template, and so continues to be useful as a final valuation mechanism.
G.
Deferral Period for Unscheduled Holiday.
As noted above in Paragraph D, 30 calendar days is confirmed as the number of days

parties may postpone valuation of their contracts in the event of a market disruption.
The same number of days will be observed in the event of an Unscheduled Holiday
where valuation will be deferred by the parties. As noted above, this is consistent
market practice for Latin America. The calendar day after the lapse of the Deferral
Period will be deemed to be the Valuation Date, and a Spot Rate may be determined for
the contract based upon a rate quotation determined pursuant to the Indicative Survey.
H.
New York City as a Relevant City for Business Day for Valuation Date.
New York AND the primary financial center for each of the COP, CLP and PEN local
markets are included as Business Days for Valuation Date purposes. This follows
prevailing market practice on this issue and clears up any remaining market uncertainty.
I.
Endnotes.
The endnotes adopted for the CLP, COP and PEN Template Terms are substantially
similar to the endnotes that appear in other EMTA template terms.
II.
In connection with the adoption of the 2006 Templates, both amendments to and new
rate source definitions for Annex A of the 1998 Definitions were needed. New rate
source definitions for the indicative source rate quotes for each of CLP, COP and PEN
were drafted, new rate source definitions were developed for the CLP and PEN primary
settlement rate options and the COP primary settlement rate option definition was
updated.
Changes made to the primary rate source definitions, whether through amendment or
de novo drafting, were made not only to correct minor problems, but also with a key
principle in mind: to lessen the vulnerability of the rate source definition to technical
adjustments in the electronic screens, by divorcing the definition from a provider screen
or page and, instead, emphasizing a reliance on the rate quote as and if provided by the
authoritative source.
CLP DOLAR OBS or CLP10 is a new rate source definition. A definition for this rate,
the Chilean Dollar Observado Rate, already exists in Annex A (see CLP04), but in a
formulation that was unsatisfactory to many EMTA traders. A technical problem with
the Reuters screen on which the rate is hosted may raise the question of whether a
valid rate quote existed for that day 4 . Thus, a new rate definition of CLP10 was
prepared which cites the authoritative source of the rate, in this case the Banco Central
de Chile. A practitioners note has been included with the definition to clarify that if the
Banco Central de Chile quotes the Dollar Observado rate on a Valuation Date, that rate
is the Spot Rate to be used by the parties whether the parties choose to access the rate
quotation on the quoting entitys website or on a commercial providers page such as
Reuters or Bloomberg.
The COP TRM or COP02 rate is an amendment of a rate source definition already
found in Annex A. The amendments were made to correct some minor spelling errors,
to refer to include reference to both the TRM and the TCRM as they are the same rate,
to update the posting and to likewise include a reference to the quoting entitys website,
reflecting an increasing use by the market of the quoting entitys website as a, but not
the exclusive, reference point. Again, a practitioners note on this point is included for
the avoidance of doubt.
PEN WT AVE or PEN03 is both a new rate source for the market and a new rate
source definition for the 1998 Definitions. This rate was identified by the traders in the
4
In early 2003, the Reuters page on which the Observado rate was posted necessitating a
change in market practice for the primary settlement rate option. See EMTA FX and Currency
Derivative Market Practice No. 30.
EMTA working group as an attractive alternative to the fixing rate currently used by the
Peruvian spot and offshore NDF markets in that it represents an end-of day weighted
average market rate that is less susceptible to market manipulation in what is an
already thin local market. The definition describes the rate, refers to the quoting entitys
website in parallel with the above two definitions and includes a practice note clarifying
that the compra y venta (bid and offer) rates posted by the quoting entity must to be
averaged to produce a midpoint rate which will then be rounded to the fourth decimal to
produce the Spot Rate that can be used by the market to value contracts. This rate was
felt by the working group to be more transparent potentially fostering the development
greater investor confidence in the PEN market.
An Indicative Survey Rate rate source definition has been included in Annex A for each
of the Chilean Peso (CLP11), the Colombian Peso (COP03) and the Peruvian Sol
(PEN04). These definitions are substantially similar to the definitions for all other EMTA
sponsored indicative survey rates currently found in Annex A, incorporating, among
other things, the concepts of an underlying written methodology, discovery of an
indicative rate quote and survey of onshore and offshore market participants to discover
the rate. See e.g., the EMTA ARS Indicative Survey Rate (ARS02), the EMTA BRL
Indicative Survey Rate (BRL12) and the EMTA RUB Indicative Survey Rate (RUB02).
III.
INDICATIVE SURVEY RATE METHODOLOGIES
The Indicative Survey Rate Methodologies are based on other existing EMTAsponsored survey methodologies with minor changes to accommodate local market
conditions and start-up mechanisms in each case. For a more in-depth discussion of
these methodologies, see any of the EMTA Users Guides for NDF Documentation.
(e.g., the ARS Users Guide or the RUB Users Guide) found on EMTAs website.

The EMTA CLP Indicative Survey
Commencing the Indicative Survey: (A) on any Business Day on which a

Price Source Disruption has occurred or is continuing OR (B) on any
Valuation Date that is NOT a Business Day (or that would have been a
Business Day but for the occurrence of an Unscheduled Holiday), and in each
case following the lapse of a 30 calendar day period during which the primary
settlement rate option shall have been continuously unavailable and as a
consequence valuation shall have been deferred or postponed, upon receipt
of a Valid Survey Request, EMTA (or a service provider EMTA shall select in
its sole discretion) shall conduct a survey of financial institutions for the
purpose of determining the EMTA CLP Indicative Survey Rate for that day.
Valid Survey Request: A Valid Survey Request is a request received by

EMTA from not less than two unaffiliated EMTA members not later than 5
business days before the contemplated start of the Survey.
Polled Banks: For purposes of determining the EMTA CLP Indicative Survey
Rate for any Valuation Date, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Santiago time 1 ),
EMTA (or a service provider EMTA may select in its sole discretion) shall
survey no more than 30 randomly selected financial institutions that are active
participants in the Chilean Peso / U.S. Dollar market (each, a Participating
Bank).
Survey Question: Each Participating Bank will be asked to provide its

reasonable judgment of what is (or, in the case of an Unscheduled Holiday,
would be) the current prevailing free market Chilean Peso spot rate (bid-offer
pair) for a standard size Chilean Peso/U.S. Dollar wholesale financial
transaction for same-day settlement in the Chilean marketplace on the
Valuation Date. In arriving at this indicative quotation, survey participants will
be directed to take such factors into consideration as they deem appropriate,
which factors may (but need not) include any or all of the following: the spot
rate(s) implied in the offshore non-deliverable foreign exchange market for
Chilean Peso/U.S. Dollar transactions; the spot rate implied by any other
financial market transactions (to the extent that such other financial markets
are open for business); the spot rate used in connection with any commercial
New York time is 2 hours behind Santiago time when it is Standard Time in New York and Daylight
Savings Time in Santiago; New York time and Santiago Time are the same when it is Standard Time in
Santiago and Daylight Savings Time in New York; New York time is 1 hour behind Santiago time when it
is Standard Time in both Santiago and New York and when it is Daylight Savings time in both Santiago
and New York.
lpj/CLPIndicativeMeth
transactions for goods or services from offshore suppliers or providers; any

existing rate for trade finance transactions; and any other existing unofficial
rate for Chilean Peso / U.S. Dollar transactions (commercial or otherwise).
II.
Calculation Methodology
EMTA will determine the mid-point of each bid-offer pair. The arithmetic
mean of the mid-points will be used to determine the CLP Indicative Survey
Rate, rounded to the fourth decimal point as described below.
If the CLP Indicative Survey results in 21 or more responses, then the 4

highest and 4 lowest mid-points will be eliminated, and the arithmetic mean
of the remaining mid-points shall be computed and will constitute the CLP
Indicative Survey Rate for such Valuation Date. For purposes of eliminating
the 4 highest and 4 lowest mid-points, if more than 4 mid-points have the
same highest value or lowest value, then only 4 such mid-points shall be
eliminated
If the CLP Indicative Survey results in less than 21 but 12 or more

responses, then the 2 highest and 2 lowest mid-points will be eliminated, and
the arithmetic mean of the remaining mid-points shall be computed and will
constitute the CLP Indicative Survey Rate for such Valuation Date. For
purposes of eliminating the 2 highest and 2 lowest mid-points, if more than 2
mid-points have the same highest value or lowest value, then only 2 such
mid-points shall be eliminated.
If the CLP Indicative Survey results in less than 12 but 10 or more

responses, then the highest and the lowest rate will be eliminated and the
arithmetic mean of the remaining midpoints shall be computed and will
constitute the CLP Indicative Survey Rate for such Valuation Date. For
purposes of eliminating the highest and lowest mid-points, if more than 1
mid-point has the same highest value or lowest value, then only 1 such midpoint shall be eliminated.
If the CLP Indicative Survey results in less than 10 but 8 or more responses,
then no mid-point will be eliminated and the arithmetic mean of all mid-points
obtained shall be computed and will constitute the CLP Indicative Survey
Rate for such Valuation Date.
Quotes shall be provided to the fourth decimal point (e.g., 10000).

(www.emta.org) (the Publication Site) by approximately 12:00 p.m.
(Santiago time), or as soon thereafter as practicable, on the Valuation Date.
As soon as it is determined that the CLP Indicative Survey will result in

Insufficient Responses, a notice that no CLP Indicative Survey is available
for the Valuation Date shall be published on the Publication Site.
Discontinuing the CLP Indicative Survey

The CLP Indicative Survey will be discontinued (a) following the publication of a
CLP DOLAR OBS Rate (CLP10) (or any successor primary settlement rate
option) on any Valuation Date or (b) on the third day following polling for the CLP

consecutive polling days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent EMTA from re-initiating the CLP Indicative Survey at an
appropriate time in the future.
