The ACI Financial Markets Association (ACI FMA) announced this Monday that it has teamed up with Axiom Global Advisors in order to help market participants adopt and adhere to the FX Global Code.

The FX Global Code was launched in 2017 and outlines a set of good market practices for the global forex market, which has a turnover of more than $6.6 trillion a day. Even regulators, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), have recognised the code.
