The government either decided the ban wasn't needed, or more likely, was replacing it with a different system of exchange control. Either way, the old rules are gone."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1939l00092","history":"/api/acts/c1939l00092/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1939l00092/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1939l00092/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1939l00092/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1939l00092/documents"}}
