Summary:                    Add new BUS/252 day count fraction coding
scheme
value to support Brazilian Real swaps
Description: 
Brazilian Real interest rate swaps use an unusual day count fraction for
calculation of the fixed amounts. The day count is based on business,
not
calendar (actual) days and a year is assumed to have 252 days. For
example, a Fixed Rate Day Count Fraction definition on a confirmation
might read:

Calculation Days/252 where Calculation Days is the number of Business
Days
from and including the Effective Date up to and excluding the
Termination
Date.

So the suggested new code would be BUS/252 and the associated
description
would be something like:

"The number of Business Days in the Calculation Period or Compounding
Period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 252."
