It does not use its bank in Italy as SAR is not readily available. 2A also uses NCB to repatriate dividends/profit from SAR to EUR (Italy) on a bi-annual basis. 2A has operations in Chile, where the local business currency is USD. On a monthly basis, the head office sends funds to Chile to cover local costs. Head office uses its local Italian bank to convert from EUR to USD. 12 C L A R E M O N T C O R P O R AT E S E RV I C E S
