About the code
The FX Global Code was initiated by the Basel Committee and developed in a partnership between central banks and market participants from 16 jurisdictions around the globe. 
It was launched in May 2017 and has the intention to become an integral part of the wholesale foreign exchange market globally. Going forward, the code will be maintained and updated by a Global Foreign Exchange Committee.
