Global FX Code – Execution Principles

Course level : Short courses

After a three-year review, the Global FX code was updated in July 2021 to strengthen conduct standards and reflect changes in the FX markets.

Failing to adhere to the Code, can lead to severe penalties for both firms and individuals.
