The FX Global Code Explained
The National Bank of Ukraine has launched a dedicated webpage titled 'The FX Global Code' within its 'Financial Markets. Currency Market' section. This resource offers comprehensive details about the Code, outlining its core principles, the benefits of adherence, and practical guidance for participants in Ukraine’s foreign exchange market.
The page also provides information on how institutions can commit to the Code and lists Ukrainian banks that have already aligned with the FX Global Code. Notably, the National Bank of Ukraine became a signatory in May 2026. This move aims to uphold high professional standards across financial markets, enhancing trust and stability within the country’s currency trading sector.
