  • Global Foreign Exchange Committee publishes amended FX Global Code of Conduct

    January 24, 2025
    The Global Foreign Exchange Committee (GFXC) has published the updated version of the FX Global Code of Conduct (dated December 2024), which supersedes the previous version (from July 2021). Updates have been made to strengthen the Code's content and guidance on settlement risk, transparency and use of data on electronic trading platforms. The updated Code also includes links to GFXC reports which are published from time to time and while not forming part of the Code, are intended to facilitate wider awareness and understanding of specific aspects of the FX market. The GFXC has also published enhanced disclosure cover sheets for liquidity providers and platforms available via its DCS webpage. The GFXC encourages all market participants to review the amendments to the Code and consider renewing their Statement of Commitment, taking into account the nature and relevance of the updates to their FX market activities. It considers that a 12-month period should be sufficient for those affected by the changes to align their practices with the Code's principles.
