In May 2017, the Global Foreign Exchange Committee (GFXC) published the FX Global Code. This document is a set of global principles of good practice, developed to provide a common set of guidelines to promote the integrity and effective functioning of the wholesale FX market. As a member of the GFXC, and as an active participant in the development of the FX Global Code, the FXC has adopted the principles of the FX Global Code and in light of this has not revisited its prior market practices and best practices, but continues to make them available for historical reference below.
