David Woolcock Eurobase's Banking Director for Business Consulting has been serving on the Market Participants Group which was instrumental in drafting the Global Code of Conduct for FX. The MPG was established by the FX Working Group at the Bank for International Settlements in Basle to work on the Global Code and the full code was published this morning. The code is likely to be a game changer for the foreign exchange market and as firms move to commitment and adherence they will concentrate on adapting the principles of the code into their workflows. The code will afford the opportunity to detect and resolve issues before they become a regulatory matter. David looks forward to discussing the ramifications of the code with the Eurobase customers and prospects now that the publication milestone has been passed.
David in his role as Chair of the Committee for at ACI FMA commented in the press this morning as follows “We are proud to have contributed directly to the creation of the new Code and believe that it provides an excellent framework for ethical conduct that will continue to be enhanced and refined as market circumstances demand. As champions and influencers of ethical conduct and market practice we support its adoption throughout our global membership and look forward to contributing to its continuing development.”
