special foreign cash accounts for external debt to cover repayment and
servicing, presenting their registration for external debt.

form on external debt changes with items of receipt and payment and submit
a duplicate of the form to the office of SAEC which signed and issued the
registration certificate for external debt.

submit monthly materials concerning signatures, withdrawal usage and
repayment and service of external debts to the SAEC offices which signed
and issued the registration certificate for external debt.

to submit periodically the materials covering changes in their deposits to
the concerned office of SAEC that signed the approval.

units. The units, in turn, are required to submit the registration
