FX Global Code Webinar
Why is it important for the global FX community to adhere and adopt the principles of the FX Global Code?
Register today for our FX Global Code Webinar in partnership with ACIFMA and join in the conversation with key speakers as we discuss the principles of code and the importance of engaging with FX Global Code to shape a better future for the industry.
Having been launched two years ago, the FX Global Code is being implemented in several institutions around the world as an important set of good market practices for the foreign exchange industry. Those Market Participants have been able to identify how the structure and content of the 55 principles of the Code provide an important framework to support a robust, fair, liquid, open and transparent FX Market.
In the beginning of June 2019, close to 900 Market Participants have published their Statement of Commitment to the FX Global Code, reflecting wide adherence in all continents. Whilst the majority of those institutions are located in Asia and Europe, work towards implementation of the principles of the Code is happening in every country.
The Code helps to build a better industry for the future, defined by greater consistency, robust audit trails and objective assessments of performance. It is therefore something that the whole industry across the globe should recognise and follow.
In this webinar key speakers will share their thoughts on the progress of the Code thus far. They will also outline why Market Participants in Africa should engage with the Code, proportionally to the size of their FX operations, to shape a better future for the industry.
