In collaboration with the Foreign Exchange Joint Standing Committee in London, the FXC agreed to collect one month's foreign exchange turnover data covering customer, product, currency pair, and execution data in April and October. Twenty-one leading institions active in the North American market participated in the most recent survey effort.
